The block stops somewhere on the inclined plane before reaching the ground. 0 / 1 A. The block stops when it loses all its kinetic energy. B. Energy moves from the inclined plane to the block as the block moves downwards. C. The block slid down the plane because of the force of its weight. The block eventually stops because it consumes all its energy. D. The block had some potential energy before being released. The block stopped when all the potential energy was released. E.
