Energy pie charts are

• a way to show how energy is stored at different stages during a change.

• qualitatively represent the energy stored in a system

• a second tool used to help represent systems.

• all of the above

Using energy pie charts eliminates the need to draw a system schema. The "system" is unimportant.

• True

• False

In general, you should include everything in a system that is involved in the CHANGE you observe in a system so that the total amount of energy stays the same (Law of Conservation of Energy).

• True

• False

Unless a system is specified to be frictionless, surfaces that may cause friction should be included in the system to capture all of the energy transformations that occur.

According to the reading, kinetic energy is represented as

• KE

• E_K

• EngK

• KinEn

Which statement(s) are true about what the reading calls, thermal waste energy?

• It is abbreviated E_thW

• It is still stored in the system but is no longer usable; cannot be transferred back into another mode.

• It is lost to the surroundings.

• It is created when two surfaces rub against one another.

You may notice that the reading does not use the term 'potential' energy. What students typically consider 'potential' energy is most closely represented by the reading as:

• E_ph

• E_thW

• E_g

• E_th
