Question
When a roller coaster is at the top of a steep hill, its potential energy is maximum. When it hurdles down the slope and comes to the bottom, the potential energy reduces greatly. Hence we can say that the law of conservation of energy is not valid here since energy is destroyed.
a) True
b) False

Select all correct. Question 3 options: If an object speeds up, then the total work done on the object was positive. If an object moves at a constant speed, then the work done by each individual force is zero A force must be parallel to the displacement to do any work. If a force is perpendicular to displacement, it does zero work. If a force has a component in the opposite direction of the displacement, it does positive work. If an object doesn't move, then the work done by every individual force must be zero.arrow_forward
