Question 10
Which statement best describes the PE-KE transformations for a javelin, starting from the instant the
javelin leaves the thrower's hand until it hits the ground. 

Initial KE is transformed to PE until the javelin reaches the high point of its arc. On the way back
down, PE is transformed into KE. At every point in the flight, mechanical energy is being
transformed into heat energy.

Initial KE is transformed to PE until the javelin reaches the high point of its arc. On the way back
down, there is no transformation of mechanical energy. At every point in the flight, mechanical
energy is being transformed into heat energy.
