Energy Review

A student was practicing guitar for the school talent show. What must happen for you to hear the music the student is playing on her guitar?

• The strings must stretch and travel in a straight line.

• The strings must vibrate, and the sound must pass through empty space.

• The strings must vibrate, and the sound must travel in waves.

• The strings must expand and go to your ears.

All of the following are examples demonstrating mechanical energy except -

• a fire roasting marshmallows

• a fan blowing out air

• a girl kicking a ball across the yard

• a boy writing with a pen

The blades of the fan are moving to move the car forward. Which of the following uses the same type of energy that was used to move the car forward?

• a battery lights a bulb

• a horn makes a loud noise

• a child rides a bike to school

• a star shines bright at night

A group of students set up the electrical circuit shown. Why is Bulb 2 not lighting up?

• The switch is open and prevents the circuit from working.

• The battery is dead and does not provide any electrical energy.

• Bulb 2 is burnt out, so it isn't working.

• Bulb 2 is not connected correctly to the circuit.

A group of fifth graders built a complete circuit to create a noise with a buzzer. After building the circuit, the buzzer does not buzz. Why doesn't the buzzer work in their circuit?

• The students connected the wires incorrectly.

• The students connected the buzzer incorrectly.

• The students forgot to close the switch to complete the circuit.

• The students need more batteries to make their circuit complete.
