Which of the following statements is incorrect?A. Kinetic energy may be zero, positive or negativeB. Power, energy and work are all scalarsC. Potential energy may be zero, positive or negativeD. Ballistic pendulum is a device for measuring the speed of bullets

Answer» Correct Answer - A
If an object of mass m moving with velocity `vecv`, its kinetic energy K is given by
`K=1/2 mvecv.vecv=1/2 mv^2`
As mass m and `v^2(vecv.vecv)` always positive, therefore kinetic energy is always positive. The kinetic energy can never be negative.
