Understanding Energy Types

What is the primary characteristic of potential energy?

• It is energy in motion.

• It is stored energy due to position.

• It is energy that cannot be transformed.

• It is energy that is always visible.

How does a pendulum demonstrate the conversion of energy?

• It shows kinetic energy turning into potential energy.

• It remains in a state of potential energy.

• It shows potential energy converting to kinetic energy.

• It does not demonstrate energy conversion.

What happens to an origami frog when it is released from a steady state?

• It gains kinetic energy.

• It remains in a steady state.

• It gains potential energy.

• It loses all energy.

What is mechanical energy?

• A combination of potential and kinetic energy.

• Energy that is only kinetic.

• Energy that cannot be transformed.

• Energy that is only potential.

According to the law of energy conservation, what can energy do?

• Only be created.

• Be transformed from one form to another.

• Only be destroyed.

• Be created and destroyed.
