What is the conservation of energy principle?
Total energy remains constant
The conservation of energy principle states that the total energy of an isolated system remains
constant
Energy transformations occur when energy converts from
one
form to another.
True
Kinetic energy is the energy of
motion
Match the energy form with its definition:
Kinetic Energy ↔️ Energy of motion
Potential Energy ↔️ Energy of position
Thermal Energy ↔️ Heat
Gravitational potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy as an object falls.
True
The conservation of energy principle states that the total energy of an isolated system remains
constant
Match the energy form with its definition:
Kinetic Energy ↔️ Energy of motion
Potential Energy ↔️ Energy of position
Thermal Energy ↔️ Heat
Electrical Energy ↔️ Energy of electric fields
Energy is neither created nor destroyed but rather
transforms
from one form to another.
True
What is the definition of kinetic energy?
Energy of motion
Potential energy is the energy of
position
Gravitational potential energy can be converted to
kinetic energy
as an object falls.
True
What is the mathematical expression for the conservation of energy principle?
E_{\text{total}} = \text{constant}</latex>
Order the transformation of energy when an object falls.

Energy can transform from one form to another within an
isolated system
without being added or removed.
True
In an isolated system, energy can convert between kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical, chemical, and
nuclear
forms.
Order the following energy transformations based on the example provided:
1️⃣ Kinetic to Potential (Throwing a ball upwards)
