Potential energy and kinetic energy are created when work is done to change a position (pe) or a state of motion (ke). ignoring friction, how does the amount of work done to make the change compare to the amount of pe or ke created? a. less energy is created. b. both are the same. c. more energy is created. d. this cannot be generalized.

(b) Both are the same

Explanation:

When work is done to change a position or a state of motion, then the potential and kinetic energy are created. Then the energy gets transferred to an object. Its means the work is done.  

The work done to change a position of an object is called potential energy while the work done to change a state of motion of an object is called kinetic energy.

We know that the total energy of a system remains constant. It is called the law of conservation of energy.

So, the work done is equal to the amount of PE or KE created. Hence, the correct option is (b).

hello there!

your answer is a “generator”

a generator does not create energy but instead it transforms it.

it’s basically a motor working in reverse.

prolly a beacuse the momentuem the car has increases while going down hill
