Question 11 • 350CR Integrated Science
Energy can change from one form to another, so some energy may become motion, sound, or heat rather than disappearing. In a closed system, energy is not transferred to the surroundings, and conservation of energy means the total energy at the beginning equals the total energy at the end. Friction changes some energy into thermal energy, increasing the amount of thermal energy without destroying energy.
