- Question number 14. I figured it would have to be B because Te1=Te2. I feel like both b and c were correct. Why is it not B?

Ke=.5mv^2
Energy conservation is the principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can only be transformed from one form to another.
Energy conservation is a fundamental concept in physics and is often tested on the MCAT. Questions on energy conservation may involve calculating the amount of energy before and after a physical process, or determining the efficiency of energy transfer.
The different forms of energy that are conserved include kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, electromagnetic energy, and chemical energy.
No, in a closed system, the total amount of energy remains constant. Energy can only be transferred from one form to another within the system.
To effectively solve MCAT physics questions on energy conservation, it is important to understand the basic principles and equations involved, and to practice solving various types of problems. It is also helpful to break down the problem into smaller steps and use diagrams or visual aids to better understand the problem.
