6.6 Underline the correct alternative:
(a) When a conservative force does positive work on a body, the potential energy of the body increases/decreases/remains unaltered.
(b) Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic/potential energy.
(c) The rate of change of total momentum of a many-particle system is proportional to the external force/sum of the internal forces on the system.
(d) In an inelastic collision of two bodies, the quantities which do not change after the collision are the total kinetic energy/total linear momentum/total energy of the system of two bodies.

6.6 (a) When a conservative force does positive work on a body, the body gets displaced in the direction of the force, it moves towards the centre of the force, thus resulting in decrease of potential energy.
(b) When the work done by a body against friction, it reduces its velocity. Hence kinetic energy decreases.
(c) The momentum cannot be changed by the internal forces on the system; the change of momentum is proportional to the external force.
(d) The total linear momentum does not change in an elastic collision.

(b) conserving energy between “O” ans ”A”

Ui + Ki = Uf + Kf
0+1/2mv2= mgh + 1/2mv’
(v’)2=v2-2gh = v’= ……….1
Let speed after emerging be v1 then
=1/2mv12=1/2[1/2mv’2]
1/2m(v1)2=1/4m(v’)2=1/4m[v2-2gh]
V1= ………….2
From eqn 1 and 2
So v1 = v’/ =v2(v’/2)
v1>v’/2
hence after emerging from the target velocity of the bullet is more than half of its earlier velocity v’
(d) as the velocity of the bullet changes to v’ which is less than v’ hence , path

(b, d) When a man of mass m climbs up the staircases of height L, work done by the gravitational force on the man is mgl work done by internal muscular forces will be mgL as the change in kinetic is almost zero.
Hence total work done =-mgL + mgL=0
As the point of application of the contact forces does not move hence work done by reaction forces will be zero.
