Energy changes in a system, and the ways energy is stored before and after such changes
Question
- A. Kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy
- B. Gravitational potential energy increases
- C. Kinetic energy increases and potential energy decreases
- D. Energy is lost without any conversion
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: Use calculations to compare how energy is redistributed in a system on a common scale.. 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 Redistribution
Students often confuse the concept of energy redistribution with energy conservation, thinking that energy is lost rather than redistributed in a system.
Emphasize that energy is always conserved in a closed system; it may change forms or be redistributed, but the total energy remains constant.
