Question

taro stated that when someone hits a golf ball with a club, the amount of energy the ball has changes, the amount of energy that the club has changes, and the total energy of the system that includes the ball and the club increases. which best explains taros error? the amount of energy that the ball has does not change. the amount of energy that the club has does not change. the total energy of the system decreases. the total energy of the system remains the same.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, in a closed - system (the system including the ball and the club), the total energy remains constant. Energy is just transferred from the club to the ball. So, Taro's error is thinking that the total energy of the system increases when the ball's energy changes.

Answer:

The total energy of the system remains the same.
