A weightlifter lifts a 100-kg weight 1.5 meters off the floor at a constant velocity. Which statement about this situation is true? The mechanical energy of the system increased because of friction.

The mechanical energy of the system decreased because of friction.

The kinetic energy of the weight decreased as it was lifted up.

The potential energy of the weight decreased as it was lifted up.

1) c. The energy on the macroscopic scale decreased, and the energy on the molecular scale increased.

2) d.  Friction converts some energy on the macroscopic scale to energy on the molecular scale.

3) d. The mechanical energy of the system decreased because of friction.

4) d. The mechanical energy of the system at the beginning of the experiment is equal to the mechanical energy of the system at the end of the experiment.

5) d. The mechanical energy of the system decreased due to the transfer of energy on a macroscopic scale to energy on a molecular scale.
