Energy Transformations - Quiz Quiz

Question 1

What is the sequence of energy transformations associated with a hydroelectric dam?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

C: gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy into mechanical energy into electrical energy

Question 2

A bird has a kinetic energy of 3 J and a potential energy of 25 J. What is the mechanical energy of the bird?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

B: 28 J, because mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy

Question 3

Revolt · Accepted Answer

A: 466 cap j

Question 4

Which energy transformations occur when a candle burns?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

B: Chemical energy transforms into thermal energy and radiant energy.

Question 5

What energy transformation occurs when a skydiver first jumps from a plane?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

B: Gravitational potential energy transforms into kinetic energy.

Question 6

Which equation shows the correct relationship between mechanical energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

A: ME is equal to KE plus PE

Question 7

Rita throws a ball straight up into the air and catches it at the same position from which she threw it. The ball has 18 J of mechanical energy when it leaves her hand. If no energy is lost due to friction, which statements about the energy of the ball are true? Choose four correct answers.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

B: The total mechanical energy of the ball stays constant.; C: The kinetic energy decreases as the potential energy increases.; E: The kinetic energy increases as the potential energy decreases.; F: The potential energy at the top of the ball’s motion is 18 J.

Question 8

A baseball has a mass of 0 point 1 4 5 kilograms and is 12 m above the ground. If it has a mechanical energy of 105 point 8 cap j , how fast is it moving?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

A: 35 meters per second

Question 9

Which best describes how energy changes form in a car’s engine?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

D: Multiple transformations occur because the chemical energy of the fuel is changed to several forms of energy.
