Question

Please answer the following four statements, with one of the three options positive, negative or zero.

When the kinetic energy of a system is transformed to potential energy of the system, the work done on the system is When the potential energy of a system is transformed to thermal energy of the system, the work done on the system is When the kinetic energy of a system is increased by transfers to the system, the work done on the system is When the potential energy of a system is decreased by transfers from the system, the work done on the system is

Explanation / Answer

1) Zero , Reason - Conservation of Energy
2)Negative, Reason - As the total Energy is decreasing.
3)Positive, Reason - Work Energy Theorem , Work done on system results in increase in Kinetic Energy.
4)Negative, Reason - As the total Energy is decreasing.
