What does the law of conservation of energy state about energy in a system?
AEnergy can only be transferred
BEnergy can only be destroyed
CEnergy can only be created
DEnergy can only be weighed
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Energy can only be transferred
1. Energy is never made from nothing and never disappears.
2. It only moves from one part of a system to another.
3. It can also change form, for example from stored energy to movement energy.
4. That is why the total energy of a system stays the same.
