Question

In this setup how can potential energy be converted into kinetic energy .

Answer 1

Answer:

If force is applied to cause the motion of the body

Explanation:

In the setup given in this diagram, potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy by applying force on the cart or object to move it down the slope.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. The body has huge potential energy at its current position.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

As the body moves down the slope and its velocity increases, it gains massive kinetic energy.

Down the slope, the kinetic energy increases as the potential energy decreases.

At the bottom of the slope, the potential energy becomes zero and the kinetic energy is at its maximum.
