For a certain task energy required is more than 50joules and potenial energy of the system is 50 joules so will system be able to perform the task? Pls explain
Solution,
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a system by the virtue of its position or state relative to some reference system. Total energy of a system consist of kinetic energy and potential energy. If the supplied energy in a certain task is more than the potential energy, then the kinetic energy of the system will change. Change in kinetic energy is equal to work done. Thus, the system will do work but it may or may not be able to complete the task.
