Bell Work:
1.Kinetic energy cannot be conserved during an inelastic collision. How does the Law of Conservation of Energy still apply to inelastic collisions?a.Kinetic energy during an inelastic collision is created when the objects stick together.
b.Kinetic energy during an inelastic collision is destroyed and never converted.
c.Kinetic energy during an inelastic collision is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat.
d.Kinetic energy doesn’t apply to the phenomenon of the Law of Conservation of Energy.
2. An apple hanging from a limb has potential energy because of its height. If it falls, what becomes of this energy just before it hits the ground?
a. its total energy goes to zero
b. its P.E. is transformed into kinetic energy
c. its energy is transformed into the thermal energy of the apple and the ground
d. its P.E. increases and just before it hits the ground it is doubled
