Kinetic energy depends on

• mass and volume
• velocity and weigt
• weight and heigh
• mass and velocity

Which of the following types of energy is not a renewable resource?

• wind energy
• nuclear energy
• solar energy
• geothermal energy

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that

• potential energy is always lost within a closed system.
• Kinetic Energy is always lost within a closed system.
• Energy is conserved in a closed system because energy only changes form and is neither lost or destroyed.
• Gravitational Energy is destroyed within a closed system.
