To demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Energy a student riding a bicycle uses the brakes to slow and stop the bike. He concluded that friction caused the bicycle to stop. Which energy transfer best explains why the bicycle stopped?

Friction between the bicycle's brakes and the moving wheels caused mechanical energy to be transformed into thermal energy.

Which of the following best describes how the theory of evolution has changed over time ?

1- The theory of evolution describes a body of observations about the changes in organisms

2- Darwin's theory of evolution was modified to the current theory as new evidence was discovered

3- The idea of evolution did not develop until natural phenomena described what was happening  

2- Darwin's theory of evolution was modified to the current theory as new evidence was discovered

Explain weathering and erosion

Weathering breaks up the rocks and  it gets ready for erosion. Erosion happens when rocks and sediments moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity.

Frank rolled a toy car down a ramp and timed how long it took for the car to reach the bottom of the ramp. After one trial, the student doubled the height of the ramp and added sandpaper to surface of the ramp. He conducted three more trials. After reviewing the data, the student concluded the height of the ramp had no effect on the speed that the car traveled. What is wrong about his conclusion?

Too many variables were changed during the investigation
