The law of conservation of energy states:

It is important for any civilization to conserve its energy.

Energy that is not actively conserved will be lost forever.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

Describe your energy at the top of a roller coaster hill, just before you start moving into the big drop. You are currently perfectly still (aside from the screaming).

Because you aren't moving, you have no energy.

You have potential energy.

You have kinetic energy.

You have both kinetic energy and potential energy.

I stretch a rubberband and fling it at across the room. When does the rubber band have energy?

Only when its flying across the room.

Only when it was stretched tight.

Both when its stretched tight and when its flying across the room.

There is not enough information to answer this question.

Where does electricity in your house come from (the type that comes on when you flip a switch)?

Coal and oil are burned to heat up wires, which makes energy flow through wires.

Humans mine rocks that are naturally magnetic and electric. These are made into large batteries.

Humans heat up water and create steam in order to spin magnets near wires.

Earth's magnetic field is used to create electricity.

No one knows for sure where electricity comes from.

Energy is neither _________ nor _________ but can be _________ from one form to another

Created, destroyed, transferred

Transferred, created, destroyed

As a pendulum swings from its highest to lowest position, what happens to its kinetic and potential energy?

The PE and KE increase and decrease together

The PE decreases while the KE increases

Impossible to know without knowing the mass

According to the Law of Conservation of energy, the amount of energy before and after a reaction must be the same. Which statement below is true?

The total amount of energy is conserved

The total amount of energy is more after a reaction

The total amount of energy is less after a reaction

As an object falls from the top of a high building, describe its kinetic and potential energy over time.

Both increase

Both decrease

Kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases

. Kinetic energy increases and potential energy decreases

The law of conservation of energy is a statement that

Energy must be conserved and you are breaking a law if you waste energy.

the supply of energy is limited so we must conserve.

The total amount of energy is constant.

energy cannot be used faster than it is created.

The law of conservation of energy says what about the energy in a system?

It never changes

It gradually decreases

It gradually builds up

It's sporadic depending on what is happening in the system

_________________________ says that energy is not created or lost, it just changes forms.
