If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy. It is a true statement .

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. It is basically the energy of mass in motion. Kinetic energy can never be negative and it is a scalar quantity i.e. it provides only the magnitude and not the direction.

According to law of conservation of mechanical energy change in potential energy is equal and opposite to the change in the kinetic energy.

According to the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved i.e., the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed; it can only be internally converted from one form to another if the forces doing work on the system are conservative in nature.

since, potential energy is stored in the form of work done

Work done = Fs cos (theta)

If force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion

theta =   90 °

cos (90 ) = 0

Work done  = 0

since , there is no work done , hence kinetic energy will not change

Damm [24]

Answer: Long Answer...

Explanation: Most of the time, chemical energy is released in the form of heat, and this transformation from chemical energy to heat, or thermal energy, is called an exothermic reaction. Next, there are two main types of mechanical energy: kinetic energy and potential energy.

Technician A says that current is created in the stator windings of an alternator. Technician B says that the voltage regulator
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Technician A and Technician B both are right.

Explanation:

In an AC alternator,  there are two windings

1. Stator winding (stationary)

2. Rotor winding (rotating)

The current is induced in the stationary coils due to the magnetic field produced by the rotor. The DC suppy is provided to the rotor winding via slip rings and brushes and a voltage regulator precisely controls this supply to control the current flow through the rotor.

Therefore, both technicians are right.
