A body falls towards earth in air. Will its total mechanical energy be conserved during the fall ? Justify.
A body falls towards earth in air. Will its total mechanical energy be conserved during the fall ? Justify.
No, because a small part of its energy is used against air resistive force which is nonconservative force. In this condition, gain in $\mathrm{KE}<$ loss in$ PE.$

A trolley of mass $200\; kg$ moves with a uniform speed of $36\; km / h$ on a frictionless track. A child of mass $20\; kg$ runs on the trolley from one end to the other ( $10\; m$ away) with a speed of $4 \;m s ^{-1}$ relative to the trolley in a direction opposite to the its motion, and Jumps out of the trolley. What is the final speed of the trolley ? How much has the trolley moved from the time the child begins to run?
