Question

1. choose the correct answer.

sitting on top of a slide is an example of what type of energy?
potential energy
kinetic energy

1. choose the correct answer.

what is the law of conservation of energy?
energy can be created, but not destroyed. it can also change from one form to another.
energy can be created and destroyed. it can also change from one form to another.
energy cannot be created or destroyed. it can only change from one form to another.
energy cannot be created, but it can be destroyed. it can only change from one form to another

Explanation:

• Question 16: Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position. Sitting on top of a slide means the object (person) has height, so it has gravitational potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and since the person is not moving (sitting), it's not kinetic energy.
• Question 17: The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change from one form to another. For example, potential energy can convert to kinetic energy (like when a ball rolls down a hill), but the total amount of energy in a closed system remains the same.

Answer:

1. potential energy
2. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change from one form to another.
