a paper is at rest on a flat table. tyler gives the book a shove and it slides across the table. the paper eventually comes to rest again near the edge of the table. how does the potential and kinetic energy change during this process?

Initially, when the paper is at rest on the table, it has potential energy due to its position above the ground. This potential energy is gradually converted into kinetic energy as Tyler gives the paper a shove and it starts moving across the table.
As the paper slides across the table, its kinetic energy increases due to its motion. However, as the paper nears the edge of the table and eventually comes to a stop, its kinetic energy decreases and is converted back into potential energy as it settles near the edge of the table.
Overall, the potential energy of the paper decreases as it moves across the table and its kinetic energy increases, and then vice versa as it comes to rest near the edge of the table.
