  1. Think it through yourself.

    The stars are generally right, except for the coal and toaster one. It should be 27%

    "

    Does water gain potential energy as it falls over a waterfall?

    a. yes*****

    b. no"

    It should be loses potential energy. the potential becomes kinetic.

    "Is it true that since energy cannot be created nor destroyed, the total energy of the river system remains constant?

    a. yes

    b. no*****"

    This one is a technicality. Technically yes, but really its no.
