As a skater rides down a hill, what is true about their energy?

• No forces act on the skater

• The skater has kinetic energy while moving

• The skater never has potential energy

• Gravity is the only force that acts on the skater

• The work the lever does is 3 times less than you do to the lever

• The lever applies 3 times more force than you do to the lever

• You apply 3 Force to the lever

• There are 3 levers built into one

Gas powered cars convert chemical energy in gasoline into thermal energy in the engine.

Most of this thermal energy converts into mechanical energy to move the car, but its not 100% efficient.

What happens to the rest of the thermal energy?

• It is released as waste heat

• It turns back into gasoline

• It is destroyed in the energy transformation

• True

• False
