Can any object have mechanical energy even if its momentum is zero? Explain.
The velocity of a body moving in a straight line is increased by applying a constant force F, for some distance in the direction of the motion. Prove that the increase in the kinetic energy of the body is equal to the work done by the force on the body.
Is it possible that an object is in a state of accelerated motion due to external force acting on it, but no work is being done by the force? Explain it with an example.
