Answer: Your friend is incorrect.
Explanation: If we have an object or something that isn’t moving, (let’s say a notebook on a desk). If there is change, and the notebook moves, there is acceleration. Force = Mass times acceleration, f = m*a. There has to be a force, first of all. If you touched the notebook and moved it, some of your energy is transferred and now the notebook has kinetic energy. If our system is you and the notebook, the total energy doesn’t change. the energy is transferred, but doesn’t change. Your friend is not correct. Please give brainliest hope this helped!
