Question

question 11 of 25
an avalanche demonstrates what kind of energy conversion?
a. chemical potential energy to heat energy
b. kinetic energy to heat energy
c. gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
d. kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

An avalanche occurs when snow on a slope starts to move. Initially, the snow has gravitational potential energy due to its height on the slope. As it moves down - slope, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion).

Answer:

C. Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
