Select the correct alternative.

A

Work done by kinetic friction on a body always results in a loss of its kinetic energy.

B

Work done on a body, in the motion of that body over a close loop is zero for every force in nature.

C

Total mechanical energy of a system is always conserved no matter what type of internal and external forces on the body are present.

D

When total work done by a conservetive force on the system is positive then the potential energy associated with this force decreses.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the given options regarding work done by forces and the conservation of energy principles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Work Done by Kinetic Friction**: - Kinetic friction always opposes the motion of the body. Therefore, the work done by kinetic friction is negative, which results in a loss of kinetic energy of the body. - **Conclusion**: Option 1 is incorrect. 2. **Work Done by Kinetic Energy**: - The statement suggests that the work done by kinetic energy on a body may increase its kinetic energy. However, work done on a body can either increase or decrease its kinetic energy depending on the direction of the force applied. - **Conclusion**: Option 2 is not always correct. 3. **Total Mechanical Energy Conservation**: - The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved only when the net work done by external forces is zero and internal forces are conservative. If non-conservative forces (like friction) do work, the mechanical energy is not conserved. - **Conclusion**: Option 3 is incorrect. 4. **Work Done by Conservative Forces**: - When the total work done by a conservative force is positive, it indicates that energy is being transferred to the kinetic energy of the system, which results in a decrease in potential energy associated with that force. - **Conclusion**: Option 4 is correct. ### Final Answer: The correct alternative is **Option 4**. ---
