Which of the following statements is true about energy? a. energy cannot be created, but it can be destroyed. b. energy cannot be created or destroyed. c. energy can be created but not destroyed. d. energy can be both created and destroyed.

A common misconception among many is that energy can be created and/or destroyed. This is not true. Energy cannot be created OR destroyed. It only can be changed from one form to another form of energy. As an example, electrical energy could be converted to chemical energy, vise versa.

Therefore, your answer is B.) Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Hope this answer helped. :)

B. Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Explanation:

The term energy comes from the Greek word for "activity", energeia, and is used in various areas of knowledge such as physics, chemistry or economics, to refer to a force capable of generating an action or a job. Thus, energy is understood as the forces capable of mobilizing, transforming, causing an object to arise or keep functioning.

The energy is measurable or measurable and also intervenes in every form of action or reaction. Displacement, chemical reactions, changes in the state of matter or even the state of rest, are explained by an amount of energy of a specific type.

A fundamental principle of energy is that energy can not be created or destroyed, as stipulated in the Energy Conservation Principle, but can be transformed from one type of energy to another, as when we use electrical energy to illuminate a fourth (light energy).
