Imagine that you push on a large rock. at what point does your effort change the rock’s mechanical energy?

Two metal blocks that have slightly different temperatures are placed next to one another. after five minutes, they both have lower but equal temperatures. according to the law of conservation of energy, what  most likelyhappened? energy was created inside the blocks.energy was destroyed inside the blocks.energy was absorbed into the blocks from outside the system.energy was transferred from the warmer block to the cooler block.

Scientists have developed an explanation of a phenomenon from several verified hypotheses. the explanation has been confirmed through numerous experimental tests.which option best describes this explanation? a. scientific lawb. research questionc. hypothesisd. scientific theory
