Whenever energy changes form, people sometimes say that some energy is "lost." What is meant by this?
A. The energy is not truly lost; it transforms into forms that are not easily put to use.
B. The process of changing form reduces the total amount of energy in the universe.
C. Whenever energy changes form in one location, a corresponding change in the opposite direction must take place somewhere else.
D. Sometimes a "mistake" or an inefficiency in the transformation causes energy to be destroyed.

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i. e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i. e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
