How does energy change when a person lifts a box and places it on a shelf?

• Energy is transferred from the person to the box.

• No energy is transferred, but the energy of tof the box increases.

• There is an overall increase in the energy of the person and the box.

• Energy is transferred to the person, but the energy of the box does not change.

What energy transfer occurs in a solar panel?

• Electrical energy is transferred to the panel when it is connected with an electrical source in a complete circuit.

• Electromagnetic energy is transferred to the panel when light waves from the sun are absorbed by the panel.

• Thermal energy is transferred to the panel when it is connected with an electrical source in a complete circuit.

• Mechanical energy is transferred to the panel when waves from the sun push against the panel and move it.

A scientist places a block of hot metal in a jar of cool water. Because energy is conserved, what must happen?

• The sum of the thermal energy of the water and the thermal energy of the metal will increase.

• The thermal energy of the water and the thermal energy of the metal will remain the same.

• Some of the metal's thermal energy is transferred to the water as heat, but a small amount changes to mass.

• The thermal energy of the water will increase by the same amount that the thermal energy of the metal decreases.

As energy in the form of heat is added to an ice cube, it begins to melt, What causes melting?

• Heat causes the molecules in the ice cube to expand and forces them apart.

• The transfer of thermal energy to the ice cube causes its molecules to move faster.

• Heat removes thermal energy from the ice cube and causes it to become liquid water.

• The additional energy causes the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in the ice cube to break.
