If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy. It is a true statement .
Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. It is basically the energy of mass in motion. Kinetic energy can never be negative and it is a scalar quantity i.e. it provides only the magnitude and not the direction.
According to law of conservation of mechanical energy change in potential energy is equal and opposite to the change in the kinetic energy.
According to the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved i.e., the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed; it can only be internally converted from one form to another if the forces doing work on the system are conservative in nature.
since, potential energy is stored in the form of work done
Work done = Fs cos (theta)
If force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion
theta = 90 °
cos (90 ) = 0
Work done = 0
since , there is no work done , hence kinetic energy will not change

Answer:
'Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are sent through a point on the near side of the mirror'.
Explanation:
The question is incomplete, find the complete question in the comment section.
Concave mirrors is an example of a curved mirror. The outer surface of a concave mirror is always coated. On the concave mirror, we have what is called the central axis or principal axis which is a line cutting through the center of the mirror. The points located on this axis are the Pole, the principal focus and the centre of curvature. <em>The focus point is close to the curved mirror than the centre of curvature.</em>
<em></em>
During the formation of images, one of the incident rays (rays striking the plane surface) coming from the object and parallel to the principal axis, converges at the focus point after reflection because all incident rays striking the surface are meant to reflect out. <em>All incident light striking the surface all converges at a point on the central axis known as the focus.</em>
Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that 'Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are sent through a point on the near side of the mirror'.
k e is energy of movement. When thing solidifies, atoms stop moving ke is less.
