Question

Work done on an object or system of objects causes a transformation of energy. Consider the following situation: A softball player slows to a stop while sliding across the infield dirt into third base. This situation can best be described as a transformation of Kinetic energy into Chemical Energy Kinetic energy into Dissipated energy (e.g., heat and sound) Potential energy into Chemical energy Chemical energy into Dissipated energy (e.g., heat and sound) Chemical energy into Kinetic energy

Answer 1

Initially the player has kinetic energy , when he slows to a stop his kinetic energy becomes zero by sliding across dirt,

As energy can neither be created nor can be destroyed.Kinetic energy of the player is transformed to another form of energies , heat energy and sound energy.

The situation can best be described as a transformation of -------

Answer is

Kinetic energy into dissipated energy (e.g. heat and sound)
