Front

A ball rests on a shelf one meter above the ground. Which action will increase the kinetic energy of the ball while decreasing its potential energy? Options: rolling the ball along the shelf, dropping the ball off the shelf, letting the ball rest on a shelf 0.5 meter above the ground, lifting the ball to a shelf 2 meters above the ground.

Back

dropping the ball off the shelf

Front

A student drops a ball. As the ball falls, it loses 4.2 joules (J) of gravitational potential energy. The gravitational potential energy of the ball is then converted into a different form. About how much kinetic energy does the ball gain?

Back

4.2 J

Front

A student in a science class wants to demonstrate elastic potential energy. Which are the best objects to use for this demonstration? Options: a rubber band and a weight, a mass and an electronic balance, a stack of books and bookcase, a ramp and three different toy cars

Back

a rubber band and a weight

Front

Which of these best identifies a cold water current and explains its cause? North Equatorial Current, because it flows along the equator; Equatorial Counter Current because it flows west to east; East Australian Current, because it rotates in a counter-clockwise direction; Humboldt Current, because it moves water from south of the equator back toward the equator.

Back

Humboldt Current, because it moves water from south of the equator back toward the equator.
