1.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states:

a)

An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

b)

Energy can neither be created or destroyed, but it can change form.

c)

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

d)

The force acting upon an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration; the greater the mass of an object, the more force is required to move it.
