- 7. Multiple ChoiceMatter can not be created nor destroyed: it can only beDestroyed a little bitInvisibleTransformed, changedNone of the above
- 8. Multiple Choice
What happens when the ball goes from left to right as it swings, slows down, and eventually stops?
The amount of energy the ball has stays the same because it does not transfer any energy to the surroundings (air)
Impossible to know without knowing the mass of the object
GE and KE decrease because energy is transferred to the surroundings (air)
The ball gains EE as it swings from left to right
