Question

the first law of thermodynamics commonly is described as an application of the law of conservation of energy, which states

energy can be neither created nor destroyed, just transformed from one form to another
that some energy is always destroyed when it is transformed from one form to another
all forces have equal and opposite forces
an object in motion tends to stay in motion

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is a fundamental principle in physics. It means energy remains constant in a closed system. The first option correctly states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed. The second option is wrong as it contradicts the law. The third option is Newton's third law (forces), and the fourth is Newton's first law (inertia), not related to energy conservation.

Answer:

energy can be neither created nor destroyed, just transformed from one form to another
