so, in an isolated system, the potential energy and the kinetic energy(which is the converted from pot energy) are the same ??

Open in App

Solution

In an isolated system the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy remains constant i.e total mechanical energy remains constant.
Total mechanical energy = P.E + K.E ( is a constant)

Q. Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy.

Q. Kinetic energy of an electron in a single electron system is 3.4 eV. Its potential energy and total energy in the same orbit are respectively

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed i.e. the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; however, it transforms from one form to another. The same phenomena applies when we burn a candle, chemical energy of wax is spent and converted to light energy.
