What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Energy can be created and destroyed.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
Energy is always lost as heat.
Energy is only found in living organisms.
Answer explanation
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. This means the correct choice is that energy is always conserved in a closed system.

Which of the following is an example of potential energy?
A moving car
A stretched rubber band
A flowing river
A spinning top
Answer explanation
A stretched rubber band stores potential energy due to its position and tension. In contrast, a moving car, flowing river, and spinning top are examples of kinetic energy, as they involve motion.

What type of energy does a ball have when it is held at the top of a hill?
Kinetic energy
Thermal energy
Potential energy
Sound energy
Answer explanation
When a ball is held at the top of a hill, it has potential energy due to its height. This energy can be converted to kinetic energy when the ball rolls down the hill.

Identify the type of energy transformation when a roller coaster goes down a hill.
Potential to kinetic
Kinetic to potential
Thermal to potential
Sound to kinetic
Answer explanation
As the roller coaster descends, it converts gravitational potential energy (due to its height) into kinetic energy (motion). Thus, the correct transformation is from potential to kinetic energy.

Which of the following is an example of kinetic energy?
A book on a shelf
A compressed spring
A flying airplane
A charged battery
Answer explanation
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. A flying airplane is in motion, thus it possesses kinetic energy. In contrast, a book on a shelf, a compressed spring, and a charged battery are examples of potential energy.

What happens to the potential energy of an object as it falls?
It increases
It decreases
It remains the same
It turns into sound energy
Answer explanation
As an object falls, its height decreases, leading to a decrease in potential energy. This energy is converted into kinetic energy, which increases as the object accelerates downward.

When a pendulum swings, at which point is its kinetic energy the greatest?
At the highest point
At the lowest point
When it stops
Answer explanation
The kinetic energy of a pendulum is greatest at the lowest point of its swing. At this point, all potential energy has converted to kinetic energy, resulting in maximum speed and energy.
