Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Energy is anything that occupies space and has a weight
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint: Energy follows the principle of conservation of energy which states that it can neither be created and nor be destroyed, energy is conserved and can only be transferred from one form to another.
Matter follows the conservation of mass and is anything that can occupy space.

Complete answer: Energy refers to a quantity found in nature that can neither be created and nor be destroyed.
1. Energy can only be transferred from one place or from one form to another.
2. Conservation of energy also states the above-mentioned fact.
3. The conservation of mass doesn't apply to energy as it has no mass or weight.
4. Any substance that has some mass or weight and is said to occupy some space is known as matter and matter forms all the living organisms.
5. Energy can be seen in the form of heat, light sound, etc.

Hence, the correct option is (B), False.

Note: It a quantitative quantity which can only be transferred from one form to the other, while matter which forms all the living organisms is said to follow the conservation of mass and it occupies space.
