Responses

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.
Potential energy is equal to thermal energy plus kinetic energy.

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

Kinetic energy is always equal to potential energy.

The correct statement based on the Law of Conservation of Energy is:

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

This principle states that the total energy in an isolated system remains constant, though it can change forms (e.g., from potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa). The other options presented are incorrect interpretations of energy relationships.
