Question

kinetic energy is a type of
○ mechanical energy
○ chemical energy
○ positional energy
○ potential energy
question 2 1 pts
the law of conservation of energy states that
○ energy cannot be transformed, only created or destroyed
○ energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed
○ energy cannot be created, but it can be destroyed or transformed
○ energy cannot be destroyed, but it can be created or transformed

Explanation:

Question 1 (Kinetic energy is a type of)

Mechanical energy consists of kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (energy of position). Chemical energy is energy stored in chemical bonds. Positional energy is related to potential energy. Potential energy is energy due to position, while kinetic is due to motion. So kinetic energy is a type of mechanical energy.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another (e.g., kinetic to potential, electrical to thermal). The other options misstate the law.

Answer:

A. mechanical energy
