The mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy is lost to friction.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The mechanical energy is defined as the energy of a body which it achieves by virtue of its position and velocity. The mechanical energy are of two types - potential energy and kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the body which it achieves by means of its relative position and is directly proportional to the height of the body from its relative plane. Whereas the kinetic energy of the body is achieved by virtue of its velocity and is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body.

As the mountaineer is skiing down the slope of a mountain, the potential energy of the person is gradually changing into his kinetic energy. Had it been in an ideal situation, the potential energy lost would have been just equal to the kinetic energy gained by the person. But there's friction which opposes the speed of the body and reduces the velocity. Thus the kinetic energy will be lost to some extent and the energy won't be conserved.

3 bulbs are in series and the same 3 bulbs are in parallel with the same battery. Which bulbs will be dimmer?
Marina86 [1]

3 bulbs are in series and if the same 3 bulbs are in parallel with the same battery then the bulbs that are connected in parallel  will be dimmer

<h3>What is power?</h3>

The rate of doing work is known as power. The Si unit of power is the watt.

Power =work/time

The mathematical expression for the electric power is as follows

P = VI  

The same current flows through both bulbs when they are connected in series. A greater voltage drop across the bulb with the higher resistance will result in higher power dissipation and brightness. In the case of the parallel combination, the bulb will be dimmer

Thus, If the same three bulbs are connected in series and parallel with the same battery, the parallelly connected bulbs will be dimmer, therefore the correct option is A

If an object were released in space far away from planted or stars and given an initial momentum, describe what would happen to
mamaluj [8]
Strange as it may seem, the object would keep moving, in a straight line and at the same speed, until it came near another object. Its momentum and kinetic energy would never change. It might continue like that for a billion years or more.

Have a look at Newton's first law of motion.
