The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. t/f

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object because of its motion.

For example, moving a pulley on the road.

Whereas energy of an object obtained due to its position is known as potential energy.

For example, lifting a book from table to the shelf shows position of the book has changed.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf, is false.

can be answered using momentum.

momentum = p

p1= mass1 * velocity1

p1 = p2

therefore

p1 = 6kg * 4m/s

p1 = 24kgm/s

p2=m2 * v2

24 kgm/s = 7kg * v2

v2 = 24 kgm/s / 7kg

v2= 3.42 m/s
