- ✓Potential energy of body decreases
- BPotential energy of body increases
- CTotal mechanical energy of body increases
- DTotal mechanical energy of body decreases
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Potential energy of body decreases
a
(a)
(a)
$F=\frac{-d U}{d x}$
$\int d U=-\int F d r$
$\Rightarrow U$ will decrease
