For a particle moving in vertical circle, the total energy at different positions along the path

Question

For a particle moving in vertical circle, the total energy at different positions along the path (A) is conserved (B) increases (C) decreases (D) may increase or decrease

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When a particle moving in a vertical circle, the kinetic energy is converts into potential energy.
Now when we take in consideration of both energy
ie

K . E .

and

P . E .

The total energy is conserved
i.e.

K . E . + P . E . =

Constant

Q. For a particle moving in vertical circle, the total energy at different positions along the path

is conserved

increases

decreases

may increase or decrease

When a particle moving in a vertical circle, the kinetic energy is converts into potential energy. Now when we take in consideration of both energy ie K.E. and P.E. The total energy is conserved i.e. K.E.+P.E.= Constant
