Kinematics
A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine parts, those two parts experience a relative motion with each other. Studying such relative motions is termed kinematics.
Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem
In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the direction of displacement and perpendicular to the displacement which is called the normal force. Energy is the capacity of any object doing work. The SI unit of work is joule and energy is Joule. This principle follows the second law of Newton's law of motion where the net force causes the acceleration of an object. The force of gravity which is downward force and the normal force acting on an object which is perpendicular to the object are equal in magnitude but opposite to the direction, so while determining the net force, these two components cancel out. The net force is the horizontal component of the force and in our explanation, we consider everything as frictionless surface since friction should also be calculated while called the work-energy component of the object. The two most basics of energy classification are potential energy and kinetic energy. There are various kinds of kinetic energy like chemical, mechanical, thermal, nuclear, electrical, radiant energy, and so on. The work is done when there is a change in energy and it mainly depends on the application of force and movement of the object. Let us say how much work is needed to lift a 5kg ball 5m high. Work is mathematically represented as Force ×Displacement. So it will be 5kg times the gravitational constant on earth and the distance moved by the object. Wnet=Fnet times Displacement.

#### Conservation of Mechanical Energy
**Question 4:**
A block slides from \(A\) to \(C\) along a frictionless ramp, and then it passes through horizontal region \(CD\) where a frictional force acts on it. What can you say about the block's mechanical energy in these regions?
**Diagram Description:**
- The diagram shows the path of a block sliding from point \(A\) to point \(C\) along a frictionless ramp.
- The path is curvy from \(A\) to \(C\), including two points, \(B\) and \(C\).
- After point \(C\), there is a horizontal region \(CD\) where friction acts on the block.
**Answer Choices:**
1. \( \text{A. decreasing in AB, BC, and CD} \)
2. \( \text{B. constant in AB and BC, increasing in CD} \)
3. \( \text{C. constant in AB, BC, and CD} \)
4. \( \text{D. constant in AB and BC, decreasing in CD} \)
5. \( \text{E. decreasing in AB, increasing in BC and constant in CD} \)
Students are required to apply their understanding of mechanical energy and the influence of friction in determining the correct answer.
**Factors to Consider:**
- In regions \(AB\) and \(BC\), the ramp is frictionless, implying that mechanical energy (potential + kinetic) is conserved.
- In the horizontal region \(CD\), there is the presence of friction which will cause a decrease in mechanical energy due to energy loss as heat.
**Answer Explanation:**
- In regions \(AB\) and \(BC\), since the ramp is frictionless, the mechanical energy remains constant.
- In region \(CD\), due to friction, the mechanical energy will decrease.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
\( \text{D. constant in AB and BC, decreasing in CD} \)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3d3f940f-ebcd-4239-a17f-c0f29d8bd265%2F04207061-feef-4823-86d3-25c9c9e9f53f%2F4gs87w_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
