An object that is stationary has potential energy. When the object is pushed, that energy transfers to kinetic energy. Throughout this energy transfer, the object's total energy increases
is this true
1 answer
No, this statement is not true. According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, the total energy of a closed system remains constant. In the scenario described, when the stationary object is pushed, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases. However, the total energy of the object remains the same.
