A coyote was holding a large bird cage a few meters above the ground. He lowers it at a slow constant speed onto the X he has drawn on the ground. Which statement best describes the change in the total mechanical energy of the Earth-bird cage system?Question 5 options:The total mechanical energy decreases, because the coyote does negative work on the bird cage by exerting a force in the direction opposite to its displacement.The total mechanical energy is unchanged, because there is no change in the bird cage’s kinetic energy as it is lowered to the table.The total mechanical energy is unchanged, because no work is done on the Earth-bird cage system while the book is lowered.The total mechanical energy decreases, because the coyote does positive work on the bird cage by exerting a force that opposes the gravitational force.
