What does conservation of energy mean?

• Total energy increases

• Total energy decreases

• Total energy in the universe stays the same

If the marble had 6.9 J of (potential) energy at the top of the hill and 5.4 J of (kinetic) energy at the bottom of the hill, was energy conserved and why?

• No because total energy in the universe decreased

• Yes because the total energy in the universe changed

• Yes because the total energy in the system stayed the same

• Yes, but energy left the system

The marble had 5.4 J of kinetic energy and then hit the stationary basketball. The basketball started rolling and the marble stopped rolling. The rolling basketball now has 5.4 J of kinetic energy. Was energy conserved and why?

• Yes because the total energy stayed the same

• Yes because the total energy changed

• No because the total energy stayed the same

• No because the total energy changed
