what happens to energy when work is done?

I guess they would just be looking for "It is transferred". For example, when you drop a rock from a certain height, the gravitational potential energy is transferred into kinetic energy as the force of gravity does work on the rock.

when work is done 'on a system', the energy of the system increases. when work is done 'by a system', the energy of the system decreases.
