Why won't the roller coaster reach over the second hill?

• because it is going slow

• because it does not have enough original kinetic energy at the first hill

• because it does not have enough original potential energy at the first hill

• because energy cannot be destroyed

The Law of Conservation of Energy states:

• Energy can created or destroyed but not transformed

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only transformed

• Energy can't be created, destroyed or transformed

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

A 500-gram block of solid cheese is melted in a pot. Which is most likely the mass of the cheese after it is melted?

• 500 grams, because the cheese does not gain or lose mass just because it was melted

• 499 grams, because some of the cheese evaporates as it melts

• 502 grams, because the cheese absorbs heat as it melts
