Irving, a cat, has a favorite toy that is made up of a squeaky ball at the end of a string. The toy makes up a closed system. Irving’s owner dangles the toy so that the ball swings down and then swings back up again. Ignoring any friction, how are kinetic and potential energy related to each other as the ball swings back and forth?

A
As the ball moves upward, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases.
B
As the ball moves downward, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases.
C
As the ball moves downward, both kinetic and potential energy increase.
D
As the ball moves upward, both kinetic and potential energy decrease.

A
The total initial energy will be equal to the total final energy.
B
Friction can cause energy to be destroyed during the day.
C
Some energy can be changed from one form to another.
D
Some energy can disappear after it has caused motion.
E
The total initial energy will be greater than the total final energy.
F
Some energy can be lost to the environment around the system.
G
Friction can cause the amount of thermal energy to increase.
