The conclusion I'm coming to is that I was wrong when I said w =
mv^2. : (

If KE = .5mv^2 (and I'm sure it is) and w = delta KE (Work -
Energy Theorem - had to look that one up), I don't see I how my
original statement could be correct.

Sorry 'bout that.

Well, no problem, you found the correct answer. w = delta Ke.
Since we know Ke is a scalar, then it follows that a change in
Ke will also be a scalar. QED.
