Question

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to the changes in potential and kinetic energy of a fork as it falls off of the kitchen table?

a
Kinetic energy is created as potential energy is destroyed.
b
Kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.
c
Potential energy is created as potential energy is destroyed.
d
Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Answer 1

Answer: d. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

Step-by-step explanation:
Remember The First Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation) states that energy is always conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed. In essence, energy can be converted from one form into another.

Answer 2

D; potential energy is turned into kinetic , because the law of conservation of energy states that “energy cannot be created or destroyed” therefore the energy is transferred from be big still (potential) to moving (kinetic). Hope thats helpful . :)
