According to the principle of conservation of energy, what happens to the total mechanical energy of an object in a system where only conservative forces (like gravity or spring force) are doing work?
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if only conservative forces are doing work, the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic and potential energy) of a system remains constant.
