As a sled slides down a hill, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. However, after the ride is over, the amount of kinetic energy does not equal the amount of potential energy. What would explain the missing energy?
the measurements are incorrect
the law of conservation of energy has exceptions on Earth
some of the potential energy was converted to mass
the missing energy was converted to heat energy due to friction

30sSPS7 - Q13
Although we can see light from stars, we cannot hear the sound created from the explosions of those stars. Based on your knowledge of mechanical and non-mechanical waves, which would explain why that is?
mechanical waves need a medium to travel through while non mechanical waves do not
both mechanical waves and non-mechanical waves do require a medium
mechanical waves do not need a medium to travel through while non-mechanical waves do
both mechanical waves and non-mechanical waves do not require a medium
