How does this demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Energy?
O Kinetic energy changes into potential energy as the mallet falls towards the target.
O Kinetic energy is lost at the moments that the mallet has been lifted and is poised above her head.
O Potential energy changes into kinetic enerfy as the mallet falls towards the target.
O Potential energy is lost as the mallet falls towards the target.
