A child is sitting at the top of a slide. As the child slides down the slide, the potential energy decreases. What happens to the potential energy?

•  It is lost as gravitational energy.

• It is converted to kinetic energy.

• It is destroyed as the child slides down the slide.

• It is used to make the child slow down.

Look at the picture of the dogs. If these dogs were all running at the same speed, which of these statements would be correct?

• The smallest dog would have the most kinetic energy because it is the dog with the least mass

• All the dogs have the same kinetic energy because they are all moving at the same speed

• The largest dog would have the greatest kinetic energy because its mass is greater than that of the other dogs

• The biggest dog would have the greatest kinetic energy because it has the most potential energy

Which slingshot has the most elastic potential energy?

• 1

• 2

• 3

A group of students performed an experiment during which they measured the rebound height of three different types of balls dropped from specific heights. In all of the trials, the balls never rebounded to the original height they were dropped from. What is the most likely explanation for this result?

• Energy was destroyed while each ball fell to the ground.

• The experiment required more energy than was available.

• Energy was produced and then used up at a faster rate.

• Some energy was transformed into heat or sound.
