Abstract: The work -energy theorem for systems with time related force field possessing potential and other forces has more powerful application value than the ordinary work-energy theorem.This paper plans to introduce the former and apply it to judge whether the mechanical energy relative to different reference systems is conservative for two simple systems:a particle in the gravity field and a light spring oscillator with one end fixed in the moving compartment.

Key words: time related field, work - energy theorem, theorem of mechanical energy conservation, gravity field, light spring oscillator
