Which of the following equations best describes the energy at point C, assuming energy is conserved?
O A. PEA= KEC
o B. PEA= KEc + PEC
C. PEg= KEC + PEC
O D. PEg = PEC

The correct option is

B. PEA = KEC + PEC

Explanation:

The potential energy is the energy possessed due to position

From the image the point with the highest position and therefore the most potential energy and the lowest or zero kinetic energy is point A

Given that we have;

Total mechanical energy = The potential energy +  The kinetic energy

Where there is constant total mechanical energy in the system, then, at the point A where the kinetic energy is zero, the potential energy is equal to the total mechanical of the system, we have;

Total mechanical energy = The potential energy at A = PEA

Total mechanical energy = PEA

At point C where we have the total mechanical energy presented as follows;

Total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy at C + Potential energy at C

Total mechanical energy = KEC + PEC

Therefore;

PEA = KEC + PEC.

- "the choice that is not an indicator of a chemical change is "state of matter changes". more common than not, chemical reactions produce energy in the form of light or heat. along with energy, they also produce a new substance called the product that could be in any state of matter (solid, gas, or liquid)."
