$A$ small sphere is moving at $a$ constant speed in $a$ vertical circle. Below is a list of quantities that could be used to describe some aspect of the motion of the sphere.

$I$ - kinetic energy

$II$- gravitational potential energy

$III$ - momentum

Which of these quantities will change as this sphere moves around the circle?

  • A

    $I$ and $II$ only

  • B

    $I$ and $III$ only

  • C

    $III$ only

  • D

    $II$ and $III$ only

A balloon filled with helium rises against gravity increasing its potential energy. The speed of the balloon also increases as it rises. How do you reconcile this with the law of conservation of mechanical energy ? You can neglect viscous drag of air and assume that density of air is constant.
