Energy Causes Change- 3B

When a soccer player kicks a ball, she transfers energy to the ball. What happens as a result?

• the mechanical energy in the ball won't make the position change

• the mechanical energy in the ball increases and makes the position change

• the mechanical energy in the ball decreases and makes the position change

• the mechanical energy in the ball will decrease making the position stay the same
