Question

The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. t/f

Answer 1

The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf is false. The kinetic energy on the shelf is zero because it is not in action.

Answer 2

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object because of its motion.

For example, moving a pulley on the road.

Whereas energy of an object obtained due to its position is known as potential energy.

For example, lifting a book from table to the shelf shows position of the book has changed.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf, is false.
