Question

Which of the following equations defines the law of conservation of energy?

total energy = kinetic energy - potential energy
total energy = kinetic energy - potential energy

total energy = potential energy - kinetic energy
total energy = potential energy - kinetic energy

total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy
total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy

total energy = kinetic energy x potential energy

Answer 1

Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = total energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The conservation of mechanical energy can be written as “KE + PE = const”. Though energy cannot be created nor destroyed in an isolated system, it can be internally converted to any other form of energy.

Answer 2

Total energy =kinetic energy +potential energy.
