1. As far back as about 1,000 years ago, people claimed that they had built a perpetual motion machine. They claimed the machine would run forever without having to do anything to it. Scientist know that a perpetual motion machine is impossible to build. The reason is that every machine constantly needs one thing to stay in motion. What does every machine need to stay in motion?

• energy

• heat

• mass
