Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. This worksheet will test your understanding of the Law of Conservation of Energy.
1. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be:
Lost forever
Transformed from one form to another
Created from nothing
Destroyed by friction
2. Which of the following is an example of potential energy being converted into kinetic energy?
A ball sitting on a table
A car parked on a hill
A roller coaster speeding down a hill
A stretched rubber band
1. The total amount of energy in a closed system always remains .
2. When you rub your hands together, mechanical energy is converted into energy.
3. A flashlight converts chemical energy from batteries into light and energy.
1. Energy can be created from nothing, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy.
True
False
2. When a pendulum swings, its energy continuously changes between potential and kinetic energy.
True
False
1. Describe the Law of Conservation of Energy in your own words.
2. Give an example of an energy transformation you observe in your daily life and identify the initial and final forms of energy.
Observe the following energy pyramid. It illustrates the flow of energy in an ecosystem. Energy is transformed at each level.
Based on the diagram, explain how energy is conserved as it moves through different trophic levels.
