Conservation of Energy and Mechanical Work Quiz

Energy is only conserved in mechanical systems.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. (correct)

Energy conservation is not applicable to work done.

Energy can be created or destroyed depending on the system.

Mechanical energy is not affected by work done on a system.

Work can only be done on non-mechanical systems.

Work can change the amount of mechanical energy in a system. (correct)

Mechanical energy and work are completely independent of each other.

The energy in the system remains constant regardless of work done.

The system gains energy from the surroundings.

The system loses energy, which is transferred to the surroundings. (correct)

Work cannot be done by a system in the context of energy conservation.
