The situation that best demonstrates the law of conservation of energy is:
**d) the potential energy of a ball being dropped from a cliff being converted to kinetic energy.**
This scenario illustrates that energy is not created or destroyed, but rather transformed from one form (potential energy) to another (kinetic energy) as the ball falls.
**d) the potential energy of a ball being dropped from a cliff being converted to kinetic energy.**
This scenario illustrates that energy is not created or destroyed, but rather transformed from one form (potential energy) to another (kinetic energy) as the ball falls.
