During this time, the total mechanical energy of the object remains constant.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The sum total of potential energy and the kinetic energy presented in the system is called mechanical energy. The total mechanical energy in the system, which represents the combined potential and kinetic energies, remains constant as long as the only force work at conservative forces, and mechanical energy is maintained on this principle.

For example, a gravity box in which we throw the ball straights up, and then leave the hand with a specific amounts of kinetic energy. In the first half of the track, there is no kinetic energy, but it has potential energy similar to kinetic energy that it had when that left our hand. When we catch that again, it has the same kinetic energy as when that left our hand. That is why gravity belongs to the category of conservative forces.

It is definitely letter D. <span>A1 and B1 are like poles, but there is not enough information to tell whether they are north poles or south poles.

A1 and B1 is either both north poles or both south poles. Repulsion of both magnets says it all--like poles always repel while opposite poles always attract. Thus, the best conclusion to this would be choice D.</span>

A person is placed in a large, hollow, metallic sphere that is insulated from ground. (a) If a large charge is placed on the sph
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is given that the sphere is insulated from ground and a large charge is placed on the sphere. The charge on the hollow sphere will always remain on the outer surface of the sphere and there will be no charge on the inner surface of the sphere.

If a person touches the inner surface of the sphere then he will not be harmed as there is no charge on the inner surface of the sphere.

If a person carries the charge of the opposite sign of the same magnitude then the sphere and person get neutralized upon touching the sphere.

If a person does not touches the sphere then the charge on the outer surface will be zero and there will be a positive charge on the inner surface of the sphere
