Kerala University accepts valid GATE exam scores for admissions to its various M.Tech courses. As per official sources, the GATE exam has already been held for the 2025 session. The exam was held from Feb 1 to Feb 16, 2025. To register, the students can visit the official GATE website.

Conservative forces (like gravity or spring force) conserve mechanical energy and do not depend on the path taken. The work done by the conservative forces is recoverable.
Non-conservative forces (like friction or air resistance) dissipate energy as heat or sound. It depends on the path. When non-conservative forces act, mechanical energy is not conserved.

Energy is measured in joules (J). It is the capacity to do work while power is the rate of using energy or doing work. Power is measured in watts (W). One watt equals one joule per second. Power talks about how fast the work is done, and energy is about how much work is possible. 

When without slipping a body rotates and translates simultaneously is called rolling motion, such as a wheel on a road. It is the combination of rotatory and translatory motion. The point of contact has zero velocity relative to the surface in pure rolling. It is a condition in which there is no slipping or sliding during rolling.
