An experiment is done to measured the energy transfer. The total quantity of energy transferred was less than the amount measured at the beginning.Why?

• Energy was destroyed during certain steps in the experiment.

• The steps in the experiment required more energy than was available.

• The experiments created energy that was then used up at a faster rate.

• Some energy was transformed into unwanted heat or sound that was not detected.
