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.
<span>You have just demonstrated an insight learning. Internal insight occurs if one learned a new way without the help of environmental factors. In here, what the person initially learned that if one saw a broken light bulb from a lamp, he can be cut through the jagged glass if one does not wear a pair of gloves. And maybe because at the moment, the person could not find one, he felt using a cut potato to pick up the pieces of the broken lamp. This is a demonstration of insight learning. The person found a way to pick up the pieces of the broken lamp by using his instinct at the moment. The person is not influenced by an outside source to tell him to use a potato. </span>
Refrigerator was what is commonly used today. We do dry foods and salt cure but that is not done on a daily basis
It is wasted, most likely as light, in this case, or it is lost during the transport of electricity.
The statement to every reacting there is, there is a opposite and same reacting.
hope it helps
