Conservation of Energy

The Law of Conservation of Energy states:

• Energy can created or destroyed but not transformed

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only transformed

• Energy can't be created, destroyed or transformed

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

What kind of energy does an object possess when it's resting on top of the hill?

• Potential Energy

• Chemical Energy

• Kinetic Energy

• All of the above

What do you need to add to kinetic energy in order to find an object’s mechanical energy?

• Initial Energy

• Gravitational Energy

• Thermal Energy

• Potential Energy

What force causes a roller coaster cart to slow down the most?

• friction

• weight

• gravity

• air resistance

What is the formula for Kinetic Energy?

• KE = mass x velocity

• KE= 1/2 x mass x velocity ²

• KE = mass x gravity x height

• KE = mass x velocity / 2

What energy transformation occurs from a light bulb? 

• Electrical energy = kinetic energy + potential energy 
• Electrical energy = electrical energy 
• Electrical energy = chemical energy 
• Electrical energy = light energy + thermal energy
