Energy changes in a system, and the ways energy is stored before and after such changes
Question
- A. Energy is gained from the environment
- B. Kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy
- C. Potential energy increases
- D. Energy remains unchanged
Answer
Kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy
Explanation
The correct option is "Kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy". Kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy is right because it directly matches Energy stores and systems: Describe how the way energy is stored changes when a physical system changes.. The other options are less suitable because they change the required Physics relationship, confuse the relevant energy store or use a distractor that does not answer the question.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Energy Storage Changes
Students often think that energy storage remains constant during physical changes in a system.
Emphasize that energy storage can change, such as when potential energy converts to kinetic energy during motion.
