Based on the Law of Conservation of Energy, which of the below is true?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary chemical or physical means.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary chemical or physical means.
Potential energy is equal to thermal energy plus kinetic energy.
Potential energy is equal to thermal energy plus kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is always equal to potential energy.
Kinetic energy is always equal to potential energy.
Kinetic energy is equal to potential energy minus temperature.
None of the above statements are true based on the Law of Conservation of Energy. The correct statement based on the Law of Conservation of Energy is: Energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary chemical or physical means.
When thermal energy is removed from particles, what action occurs?
The particles’ energy is destroyed.
The particles’ energy is destroyed.
The particles’ kinetic energy decreases.
The particles’ kinetic energy decreases.
The particles’ temperature increases.
The particles’ temperature increases.
The particles move more quickly.
The correct statement is: The particles’ temperature decreases.
That is not an option
Apologies for the confusion. The correct statement is: The particles' kinetic energy decreases.
