In you Higher Order Thinking Questions1. When you lift a box from the floor and put it on an almirah the potential energy ofthe box increases but there is no change in its kinetic energy. Is it violation ofconservation of energy? Explain. (AS)​

Answer»

Energy conservation statement : Total mechanical energy of an isolated particle or SYSTEM of particles is always CONSERVED in the absence of any dissipative force. As the statement SAYS , the body we are dealing with should be isolated but here the body is not isolated . So to make an increase in potential energy of the system , the lifter has to do some amount of WORK against AIR resistance and gravity . This work done against dissipative force is equal to the increase in potential energy and hence conserving the energy.Explanation:
