A child climbs to the top of a slide and gains 1500 J of gravitational potential energy.
The child then slides to the bottom. At the bottom of the slide, their kinetic energy is 400 J.
How much energy was converted into thermal energy and sound energy as the child moved down the slide?
400 J400\text{ J}400 J
1100 J1100\text{ J}1100 J
1500 J1500\text{ J}1500 J
1900 J1900\text{ J}1900 J
