The potential energy of a system increased if work is done

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.

There will be decrease in potential energy of the system, if work is done upon the system by

STATEMENT-1 When a conservative force performs positive work on a body, potential energy of the system decreases. STATEMENT-2 Work done by a conservative force does not produce any change in kinetic energy.

If 2kcal heat is given to a system and 6 kcal work is done on the system then the internal energy of system will increase by how many kcal?

if work done by a conservative force is positive the select the correct option(s). (a) potential energy will decrease. (b) potential energy may increase or decrease. (c )kinetic energy will increase. (d) kinetic energy may increase or decrease.

Calculate the work done by the system, when 40J heat is supplied to it, the internal energy of system increase 32J .

A : If net force acting-on a system is zero, then work done on the system may be nonzero. R : Internal forces acting on a system can increase its kinetic energy.
