Answer:
D. It is converted into kinetic energy.
Explanation:
When a book is dropped from a desk to the floor, the potential energy of the book is converted to kinetic energy as it falls.
- Potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.
- At a particular height, the potential energy is maximum.
- A body with mass and moving with velocity will have kinetic energy
- As the book drops through the height, to conserve energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
