Answer:

It has been converted into thermal energy due to friction

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form into another.

Applied to this problem, it means that the total initial energy of the spring-toy system must be conserved.

Therefore:

- At the beginning, the total energy stored in the spring is 10 J

- After the toy is released, the total energy must still be 10 J.

In reality, we are told that the kinetic energy of the car is only 8 J. The other 2 J have not been destroyed, but they have been converted into thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces that act against the motion of the toy car.

Which word in the sentence is a plural pronoun?
Basile [38]
(First, I guess you chose the wrong subject since this is English not Physics :p)
Now, the pronouns are words that take the place of a noun.
The Personal pronouns are: I, you, he, she, it, we, they.
I, you, he, she, it are singular; while we and they are plural.
So, in the sentence, we can clearly see the pronoun "we", which is a plural pronoun.
So the plural pronoun in this sentence is We (Answer D)

Hope this Helps! :)
