Question
if the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal, then the potential energy increases. what happens result?
total energy increases.
stored energy decreases.
energy of motion decreases.
total energy decreases.
According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy in a closed system remains constant. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and potential energy is stored energy. If potential energy increases, kinetic energy must decrease to keep the total energy constant.
