8. Case study: Reod the following and answer allthe 5questions below: (4)
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another It menve
that when al forms of energy are taken into account, the total energy in the universe remains constant
The principle of conservation of energy is valid for an isolated system, i.e., one on which no force acts
from outside. When a ball of mass, mis dropped from a height H, its gravitational potential energy
decreases, since its height decreases. It may seem that energy has been lost. But the ball gains speed, v
and hence, it acquires kinetic energy. Actually, as the ball falls itspotential energy isgradually converted
into kinetic energy. However, the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy of the object would be
the same at allpoints. The sum of kinefic energy and potential energy of an object is its total mechanical
energy.

the ground?
