The property of matter that resists changes in motion is called

• friction.

• inertia.

• gravity.

• weight.

Which statement correctly describes chemical energy?

• Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds between atoms.

• Chemical energy is the kinetic energy of moving and vibrating molecules.

• Chemical energy is the result of mass converted to energy in the nucleus of an atom.

• Chemical energy is energy stored as the result of stressing or stretching a substance.

A pendulum is pulled back and released. Which statement best describes the changes in the weight's potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE) as it swings back and forth?

• Except for small losses to friction, there are no changes to the PE or KE of the weight.

• At the top of each swing, the weight has the maximum KE and no PE. At the bottom, it has maximum PE and no KE.

• At the top of each swing, the weight has the maximum PE and no KE, At the bottom, it has maximum KE and no PE.

• The PE and KE both increase as the weight swings down, and both decrease as the weight swings up.
