1

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed or transferred.

New cards
2

How does energy conservation apply to a falling object?

The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

New cards
3

What happens to energy in a frictional force?

Some energy is lost as heat, reducing the mechanical energy.

New cards
4

How can energy be conserved in a car engine?

By reducing friction, using efficient materials, and transferring energy more efficiently.

New cards
5

How is energy conserved when you stop a car?

Kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy due to friction in the brakes.

New cards
6

How does energy conservation apply to a rollercoaster?

Potential energy at the top is converted to kinetic energy as it descends.

New cards
7

How does energy transfer during a bouncing ball?

Kinetic energy is converted to potential energy at the highest point, and vice versa.

New cards
8

What is an energy chain?

The sequence of energy transfers between different stores.

New cards
9

Why is it impossible to achieve 100% efficiency in machines?

Some energy is always lost as heat due to friction and other inefficiencies.

New cards
10

How does a battery-powered device conserve energy?

Electrical energy from the battery is converted into other forms of energy, like light or sound.
