Check all that apply.kinetic energy to mechanical energynuclear energy to thermal energymechanical energy to electrical energythermal energy to electrical energy

A
kinetic energy to mechanical energy
B
nuclear energy to thermal energy
C

Which statement is an example of the law of conservation of energy?

A
A soccer ball eventually stops because its energy disappears.
B
When a light bulb is turned on, electrical energy is converted to light and heat.
C
An automobile engine burns gasoline to converts its chemical energy to electrical energy.

The pendulum has the most potential energy [___].

A
at the top of swing
B
in the middle of swing
C
at the bottom of swing
25

When you view the pendulum’s swing, it shows that at the very top of the swing KE = 0. What does that tell you about the pendulum’s motion at that point?

Answer:

If the kinetic energy is zero, it means that the pendulum has no velocity and is not moving. At the very top of its swing, the pendulum stops for a brief moment before it begins to swing back down in the opposite direction.

Sample Response: If KE = 0, the pendulum is not moving. At the top of the swing, the pendulum must stop for a brief moment. What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.Zero kinetic energy means the pendulum is not moving.The pendulum stops at the top of the swing.

A
Zero kinetic energy means the pendulum is not moving.
B
The pendulum stops at the top of the swing.
