The total energy of a body in a conservative field=Kinetic energy+Potential Energy. The kinetic energy which is cannot be negative, it is always . However, the potential energy is either negative if the body is under the influence of an attractive force or positive if the force is repulsive.

Question: Is It Possible For A System To Have Negative Potentialenergy? A. No, Because The Kinetic Energy Of A System Most Equal Ispotential EnergyB. Yes, Since The Choice Of The Zero O Potential Energy IsarbitraryC.

If the body is in an attractive force field, and if the magnitude of the potential energy exceeds the kinetic energy then the total energy is negative.

The zero-energy universe hypothesis proposes that the total amount of energy in the universe is exactly zero: its amount of positive energy in the form of matter is exactly canceled out by its negative energy in the form of gravity.

Ep is always negative because gravitational forces are attractive and Ep=0 when the satellite is at an infinite distance away from the planet. This means that as the satellite moves in its orbit around the planet, its kinetic and potential energy may be interchanged, but the total energy of its orbit remains constant.

Classically, the bead can slide back and forth, with constant total energy E, until it reaches a position where its total energy is potential energy. It can never get beyond the turning point for that would require potential energy greater than the total energy or a negative kinetic energy.

Given question: Which of the following bodies has the largest kinetic energy? As 24Mv² is the largest kinetic energy among others, ∴ body with mass 3M and speed 4v has the largest kinetic energy.

Which object has the largest kinetic energy? Since K=p2/2m K = p 2 / 2 m , then if the momentum is fixed, the object with smaller mass has more kinetic energy. An object that has a small mass and an object that has a large mass have the same kinetic energy.

In an inelastic collision of two bodies, the total energy of the system changes to some other form but the linear momentum and kinetic energy remain unchanged.

Choice C is correct. Both the total momentum and total kinetic energy is conserved in an elastic collision.

An impulse is equal to the change in an object’s momentum that occurs when a net force acts on it. Which of the following units are used for an impulse? The vector sum of the average external forces acting on the system is equal to zero newtons. A collision between two objects is elastic.
