When an object's kinetic energy changes, the energy is lost and cannot be recovered.

Question

Group of answer choices

True

False

Answer 1

False

Kinetic energy can change due to various factors, such as work done on the object or energy being transferred in a collision, but it can be recovered or transformed into other forms of energy. For instance, if a moving object slows down due to friction, some of that kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy, but in certain systems (like elastic collisions), the kinetic energy can be conserved and recovered.
