Study the scenario.
An isolated system includes a girl, a slide, and the Earth. The girl is initially at the top of a slide, storing 100 J of gravitational energy.
As the girl slides down the frictionless slide, what happens to the total energy of the system?
Responses
The isolated system stores slightly less than 100 J of total energy as some of it is converted to heat as the girl slides.

The total energy of the isolated system decreases to 0 once the girl reaches the bottom of the slide.

The isolated system stores 100 J of total energy, but it is converted to a different form of energy.

The total energy of the isolated system increases to more than 100 J of energy as energy is released as the girl slides down the slide.
