Question

Responses

Kinetic energy is always equal to potential energy.
Kinetic energy is always equal to potential energy.

Kinetic energy is equal to potential energy minus temperature.
Kinetic energy is equal to potential energy minus temperature.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary chemical or physical means.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary chemical or physical means.

Potential energy is equal to thermal energy plus kinetic energy.

Answer 1

Based on the Law of Conservation of Energy, the correct statement is:

Energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary chemical or physical means.

This law states that the total energy in an isolated system remains constant; it can change forms (e.g., from potential to kinetic energy) but cannot be created or destroyed. The other statements are not accurate representations of this law.
