Which of the following statements correctly describes the law of conservation of energy?
A) An object always has the same amount of energy. B) Energy can change between many different forms, such as potential, kinetic, and thermal, but it is ultimately destroyed. C) Energy can change between many different forms, such as potential, kinetic, and thermal, but the total quantity of energy in the universe never changes. D) The fact that you can fuse hydrogen into helium to produce energy means that helium can be turned into hydrogen to produce energy. E) It is not really possible for an object to gain or lose potential energy because energy cannot be destroyed.
