Question 11. How does conservation of energy explain why something that is falling should speed up?
  1.    It gains kinetic energy because it gains potential energy.
  2.    It loses kinetic energy because no work was done on it.
  3.    It gains kinetic energy because it loses potential energy.
  4.    It loses kinetic energy because the Earth gains potential energy.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> It gains kinetic energy because it loses potential energy.
Question 12. What effect do external forces like an applied force, friction force, or drag force have?
  1.    They have no effect on a system's mechanical energy.
  2.    They convert kinetic energy into potential energy.
  3.    They convert potential energy into kinetic energy.
