A block of ice is sliding at a constant speed before moving up a smooth slope as shown in figure, Which of the following options is true about its energy as it is sliding up the slope?
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
The correct Answer is:
C
When the block of ice is at the base of the slope it has kinetic energy only. But as the block slides up part of its energy is converted into potential energy (i.e., energy due to its position). Hence its kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases as the block slides up.
