A student places a toy car at the top of a ramp. As the car rolls down the ramp and comes to a stop on the floor, which of the following describes the primary energy transformations?
-
A
Kinetic energy is converted to potential energy, which is then lost.
-
B
Chemical energy from the car is converted into kinetic energy.
-
C
Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, which is then converted to thermal and sound energy.
-
D
Potential energy is created from the height, and then it disappears as the car stops.
