This post is all about an alleged erratum.I can add that no books with technical content should ever be published,
F=max = m (v2^2 - v1^2)/2s - this is absolutely OK for me.
Then
Fs= 1/2 (mv2^2) - 1/2 (mv1^2) - this is OK
It is the interpretation of Fs which has the error (alleged).
"In Eq [above] the product Fs is the work done by the net force F and
thus equal to the total work Wtot done by all the forces acting on the particle. The quantity 0.5mv^2 is called the kinetic energy K of the particle."
Force is not energy.
Mixing up energy and force used to get you a wrap over the knuckles in school.
This error (alleged) is holding back all technical development using
physics which has a moving part.
Over the last few weeks, I have been posting about gravity as well,
which is related, and any correction here opens up more opportunities - please feel free to read.
In general, are publishers on the side of evidence, or the status quo? I suggest you read your own textbook and look for the similar.

if unfamiliar.) A good example of a longhand book is K&R The C
