Which of the following is true as a student slides down a water slide?
A) kinetic energy decreases
B) potential energy increases
C) total energy increases
D) none of the these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As a student slides down a water slide, their potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, and assuming no external work is done, the total energy (potential + kinetic) remains constant. Choices A, B, and C suggest changes in energy forms or totals that do not align with the principles of energy conservation in this context.
