True or false: the law of conservation of energy states that potential energy can be completely converted to kinetic energy.
True
What two factors must be present for work to be done upon an object
force and moving distance
Farhan toy truck haas a mass of 6 kg. If he pushes it with a force of 10 N, a distance of 4 m, how much work has he done on the truck?
W = fs = (10)(4) = 40 J

TRUE
If the work done increase, the the power is .........
increases
TRUE or FALSE. If an object reaches a higher height, it will gain more potential energy.
TRUE
