Question

Taro stated that when someone hits a golf ball with a club, the amount of energy the ball has changes, the amount of energy that the club has changes, and the total energy of the system that includes the ball and the club increases. Which best explains Taro’s error?

Answer 1

The error in the statement of there is the increase in amount of energy is talking about.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given experiment two ball that is present has potential energy and is static in a place, were the club that hates the ball has a certain amount of kinetic energy present in it.

After hitting the ball that kinetic energy transferred to the ball while the club becomes constant. Hence there is only a transfer of energy that is taken place the overall energy of the system remains same, So no increase or decrease is observed in the system .

Answer 2

Answer: There's no increase in the total energy of the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the golf ball was hit by a club, there was transfer of kinetic energy from the club to the ball. The system might lose energy in form of heat lose due to friction, but not increase in energy since energy can neither be created nor destroyed but only transferred from one form to another
