Q. Elastic potential energy can’t be converted into kinetic energy.

Q. When a metal wire elongates by hanging a load on it, the gravitational potential energy is decreased.
(a) This energy completely appears as the increased kinetic energy of the block.
(b) This energy completely appears as the increased elastic potential energy of the wire
(c) This energy completely appears as heat.
(d) None of these.

Q. Assertion :No external force acts on a system of two spheres which undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision. The minimum kinetic energy of this system is zero if the net momentum of the system is zero. Reason: If any two bodies undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision, at the instant of maximum deformation, the complete kinetic energy of the system is converted to deformation potential energy of the system.

Q. Assertion (A) : The elastic potential energy of a spring increases when it is elongated and decreases when it is compressed.
Reason (R) : Work done on spring is stored in it as elastic potential energy.
