Yes it does. But not always
To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. On the one hand we have that the work done by the non-conservative force is equivalent to -30J while the work done by the conservative force is 50J.
This leads to the direct conclusion that the resulting energy is 20J.
The conservative force is linked to the movement caused by the sum of the two energies, therefore there is an increase in kinetic energy. The decrease in the mechanical energy of the system is directly due to the loss given by the non-conservative force, therefore there is a decrease in mechanical energy.
Therefore the correct answer is A. Kintetic energy increases and mechanical energy decreases.
-- Equations #2 and #6 are both the same equation,
and are both correct.
-- If you divide each side by 'wavelength', you get Equation #4,
which is also correct.
-- If you divide each side by 'frequency', you get Equation #3,
which is also correct.
With some work, you can rearrange this one and use it to calculate
frequency.
Summary:
-- Equations #2, #3, #4, and #6 are all correct statements,
and can be used to find frequency.
-- Equations #1 and #5 are incorrect statements.
You draw a straight line from the start point to the end point. It doesn't matter what route was actually followed for the trip.
