Select the correct answer. Based on the law of conservation of energy, which statement is correct? A. Energy is always being added to all parts of the Universe. B. Energy is often destroyed in some parts of the Universe. C. Energy in a closed system cannot change forms. D. Energy in an isolated system remains constant.

D. Energy in an isolated system remains constant.

Explanation:

Energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The two (2) main types of energy are;

a. Gravitational potential energy (GPE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

b. Kinetic energy (KE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Furthermore, the various forms of energy are solar energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, thermal energy, wind energy, nuclear energy etc.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be transformed or converted from one form to another.

According to the law of conservation of energy, we can infer or deduce that the total energy of the system must stay the same because it cannot be destroyed, but kinetic energy (KE) can be transformed to potential energy (PE) and potential energy (PE) can be transformed to kinetic energy (KE) within the system.

energy stored in the capacitor= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴ j

explanation:

the energy stored in the capacitor is given by

e= 1/2 c v²

e= energy stored

c= capacitance= 1.5 µc= 1.5 x 10⁻⁶f

v= potential difference=36 v

so energy stored= e= 1/2 (1.5 x 10⁻⁶) (36)²

energy stored= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴j

false
