a book is at rest on a flat table. a person give the book a shove and it slides across the table. how does the potential and kinetic energy change during this process?

A. the potential and kinetic energy are the same while the book is sitting on the table. they both increase when the book is shoved and then decrease as the book comes to rest again

B. the potential energy will stay the same as long as the book stays on the table. the kinetic energy increases when the book is shoved and then comes to rest on the edge

C. the potential stays the same since the book is on the table. The kinetic energy stays the same since the book was only shoved

D. the potential energy increases as the book is pushed across the table. the kinetic energy stays the same since the book was shoved

The correct answer is A. the potential and kinetic energy are the same while the book is sitting on the table. They both increase when the book is shoved and then decrease as the book comes to rest again.
