- What is the difference between energy conservation and the law of conservation of energy? Give some examples of each.arrow_forwardIn Chapter 7, the work-kinetic energy theorem, W = K, was introduced. This equation states that work done on a system appears as a change in kinetic energy. It is a special-case equation, valid if there are no changes in any other type of energy such as potential or internal. Give two or three examples in which work is done on a system but the change in energy of the system is not a change in kinetic energy.arrow_forwardA 0.600-kg particle has a speed of 2.00 m/s at point and kinetic energy of 7.50 J at point .

A newer, more powerful sports car accelerates from 0 to 2v in the same time period. Assuming the energy coming from the engine appears only as kinetic energy of the cars, compare the power of the two cars.arrow_forwardKinetic energy is commonly referred to as the energy of ___, and potential energy as the energy of ___.

(a) How much work was done on the object by Arfeuille in this lift, assuming the object was lifted at constant speed? (b) What total force was exerted on Arfeuilles teeth during the lift?arrow_forwardThe kinetic energy of a system must always be positive or zero.
