A child pulls a sled to the top of a snowy hill, gaining 12,000 J12{,}000\text{ J}12,000 J of gravitational potential energy. They slide down the hill on the sled. At the bottom of the hill, their kinetic energy is 3500 J.
How much energy was converted into thermal energy and sound energy as the sled moved down the hill?
3500 J3500\text{ J}3500 J
8500 J8500\text{ J}8500 J
12,000 J12{,}000\text{ J}12,000 J
15,500 J15{,}500\text{ J}15,500 J
