  2. Conservation of Energy and Momentum
MCAS Questions

 

The chemical of the energy in the food eaten by these rowers becomes forward motion, motion of the water, and heat.

All energy is conserved.

Broad Concept: The laws of conservation of energy and momentum provide alternate approaches to predict and describe the movement of objects.
