Q
Q: Which of the following statements about the conservation of energy is true?
Solution: The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to another.
Steps: 4
Step 1: Understand what energy is. Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.
Step 2: Learn about the law of conservation of energy. This law says that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Step 3: Realize that energy can change forms. For example, it can change from kinetic energy (movement) to potential energy (stored energy) and vice versa.
Step 4: Remember that the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant, even though it may change forms.
