Answer: (E) Momentum and mechanical energy

Explanation:

 The momentum and the mechanical energy is basically conserved during the given interaction process as the forces on the given system are in the form of internal nature and then the momentum are get conserved.

According to the given question, on the smooth floor when an object are slides by using the spring then the momentum and the mechanical energy are conserved.

The mechanical energy is the combination of both the kinetic and the potential energy that is used for doing some amount of work. Therefore, Option (E) is correct answer.

Use the diagram to answer each question.
valentina_108 [34]

Figure A shows cross section of a land form or rock. In Figure B, compression stress is applied on it. When compression stresses are applied on a rock, it squeezes the rock cause fold or fracture. The fault formed by compression stress is called thrust fault. If the compression stresses/ force continue to act on a rock it will converge and form thrust fault. In Figure C, tension stresses is applied on the rock. When a tension stress applied on a rock it deforms/ lengthen. There are three type of deformations occur due to tension stresses. One is elastic deformation, in which, rock retains it original shape when force/stresses are removed. Second is plastic deformation, in which rock lengthen and change occur permanently. Third type of deformation is result into fracture or breaking of rock. In Figure C, shear stresses are applied on rock. Shear stresses are applied with equal magnitude but in opposite direction. It cause breaking of rock.
