Question

law of conservation of energy

• energy can be neither __________ by ordinary means.
• energy can be __________ from one form to another.
• the total amount of ________ is the ________ before and after any energy transformation.

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Energy states:

1. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed by ordinary means.
2. Energy can be transformed (or changed) from one form to another.
3. The total amount of energy is the same (or constant) before and after any energy transformation.

For the blanks:

• First blank: "created nor destroyed" (this is the core part of the law about energy's non - creation and non - destruction in ordinary processes).
• Second blank: "transformed" (or "changed", as energy undergoes conversion between forms like from potential to kinetic etc.).
• Third blank: "energy" (the subject of the conservation - we are talking about the total quantity of energy).
• Fourth blank: "same" (or "constant", indicating that the total energy remains unchanged during transformation).

Answer:

• First blank: created nor destroyed
• Second blank: transformed (or changed)
• Third blank: energy
• Fourth blank: same (or constant)
