Question

A dolphin is living in a closed system consisting of a large aquarium, the dolphin, and its food. Which method could be used to demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Energy?

A.Measure the total energy in a dolphin, the aquarium, and the food fed to the dolphin every day for 30 days. Then divide by 30 to find the average energy. B.Measure the energy of the food, the dolphin, and the aquarium before feeding and after feeding. Determine the difference to show that energy has changed forms.
C.Measure the total energy in a dolphin before feeding and after feeding. The difference represents energy that has been destroyed.
D.Measure the energy of the dolphin after feeding to show that energy has been created.

Answer 1

Answer is b loveeeee

Answer 2

Answer: B. Measure the energy of the food, the dolphin, and the aquarium before feeding and after feeding. Determine the difference to show that energy has changed forms.

The law of conservation of energy is a law of science which states that energy neither be created nor be destroyed, but it only changes from one form to another form. In the given example the energy from the food is transfered to the dolphin. Therefore, the energy changed from one form to another form that is food to dolphin.

Hence, measure the energy of the food, the dolphin, and the aquarium before feeding and after feeding and determining the difference to show that energy has changed forms can be useful method for demonstrating the law of conservation of energy.
