When a rock is held above the ground, we say it has some gravitational potential energy. When we let it go, it falls and we say the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Finally, the rock hits the ground (and stays there). What has happened to the energy?
A) The rock keeps the energy inside it in the form of mass-energy. B) The energy goes into the ground and, as a result, the orbit of Earth about the Sun is slightly changed. C) It is transformed back into gravitational potential energy. D) The energy goes to producing sound and to heating the ground, rock, and surrounding air.
