Question 2 • Chemistry

Which energy change best relates to a boulder that is rolling down the side of a hill?

Answer
A
potential energy transforming into kinetic energy
B
mechanical energy transforming into electromagnetic energy
C
mechanical energy transforming into thermal energy
D
potential energy transforming into electromagnetic energy

Explanation

As the boulder rolls downhill, it loses height, so its gravitational potential energy decreases. That energy becomes kinetic energy as the boulder moves faster. The best choice is potential energy transforming into kinetic energy.
