Which of the following equations best describes the energy at point C assuming energy is conserved OA PEA KEC O B PEA KEcPEC OC PER KEc PEC OD PEB PEC class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. PEA = KEC. +PEC

Explanation:

From the figure it is clear that there is interconversion between potential energy ( PE ) and kinetic energy ( KE ) , so that total mechanical energy is conserved .

At A only potential energy exists . Kinetic energy is zero .

At B only kinetic energy exists . Potential energy is zero .

At C both potential and kinetic energy exist .

So Potential energy at A is equal to potential energy at C and kinetic energy at C

Ie , PEA = KEC + PEC .

Option B is correct .
