9.

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?

a)

Yes because the total energy stayed the same

b)

Yes because the total energy changed

13.

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?

a)

Yes because the total energy stayed the same

b)

Yes because the total energy changed

c)

No because the total energy stayed the same

d)

No because the total energy changed
