Question

select the correct answer from each drop - down menu. a tourist bus is carrying passengers from the bottom of a hill to the top. the people, the bus, and the luggage can be analyzed as a single. the total amount of energy in the system as the bus travels. this situation happens because some of the kinetic energy changes to energy because of friction between the tires and the road.

Explanation:

In physics, when analyzing objects together, they can be considered a system. Energy is conserved in an isolated system, but here due to friction (a non - conservative force), the total mechanical energy of the system decreases as kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.

Answer:

1. System
2. Decreases
3. Thermal
