Answer: B. II and III only
Explanation:
Let’s begin by explianing what energy is: the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others. In this sense, there are several types of energy, but we will talk especifically in this case about kinetic energy and potential energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy an object or body has due to its movement and depends on the mass and velocity of the object or body.
To understande it better: If an object is at rest, its velocity is null and it does not have kinetic energy, however, if the object is moving, then it has kinetic energy.
On the other hand, Potential energy is known as “stored energy” that has the potential to be converted into energy of motion (kinetic energy) or another type of energy (thermal energy, for example). In addition, this energy is related to the work done when a certain force moves an object or body from its natural resting state along a distance to a new position.
So, according to this, Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy and Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy or any other type of energy. Hence, options II and III are correct.
Answer:
B. II and III only
Explanation:
Energy can be transformed from one type to another, because there are many different types of energy.
In this case we are talking about kinetic energy and potential energy.
- Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or its height above the ground.
- And kinetic energy is the energy that a moving object has (an object with a speed).
So it is possible that the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy (for example when a ball is thrown upwards, the more it rises it has less kinetic energy but it has more potential energy)
and it is also possible that the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (if that same ball is dropped from a certain height, when it falls it losses potential energy because it loses height but gains potential energy)
-------
So
II. Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy
and
III. Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy.
are true.
which is option B. II and III only
