Rather than ascribing the increased kinetic energy of the stone to the work of gravity, we now (when using potential energy rather than work-energy) say that the increased kinetic energy comes from the ______ of the _______ energy. Choose the best answer to fill in the blanks above:

A. work / potential
B. force / kinetic
C. change / potential

Answer:

C), Change/ Potential

Explanation:

Answer:

The correct answer is option C

Change / potential

Explanation:

We know from the conservation of energy principle that the total energy must remain conserved.

KEā‚ + PEā‚ = KEā‚‚ + PEā‚‚

When kinetic energy is increasing then potential energy must decrease so that the total energy is conserved. The increased kinetic energy comes from the change of the potential energy so that the principle of energy conservation is satisfied.
