Work || Kinetic energy

Assertion: The change in kinetic energy of a partical is equal to the work done on it by the net force. Reason: Change in kinetic energy of partical is equal to the work done in case of a system of one partical.

A : The potential energy of a system increases when work is done by conservative force. R : Kinetic energy can change into potential energy and vice-versa.

The kinetic energy of a body decreases by 36% the decrease in its momentum is

As an electron makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state of a hydrogen like atom/ion (a) kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy decrease (b) kinetic energy decreases, potential energy increases but total energy remains same (c ) kinetic energy and total energy decrease but potential energy increases (d) its kinetic energy increases but potential energy and total energy decrease

Kinetic energy of a body decreases with the increase in mass.

Choose the correct options – (1) )The work done by forces may be equal to change in kinetic energy (2)The work done by forces may be equal to change in potential energy (3) The work done by forces may be equal to change in total energy (4) The work done by forces must be equal to change in potential energy.

A : The change in kinetic energy of a particle is equal to the work done on it by the net force. R : The work-energy theorem can be used only in conservative field.

Assertion :- According work energy theorem net work done on a body is equal to change in its kinetic energy. Reason :- The work energy theorem is independent of Newton's second law.
