Force, Motion, and Energy Quiz

What is kinetic energy?

• The energy possessed by an object due to its position.

• The energy possessed by an object due to its motion.

• The energy possessed by an object due to its shape.

• The energy possessed by an object due to its temperature.

Give an example of an object with high potential energy.

• A roller coaster at the top of a hill

• A basketball at the top of a hoop.

• A car parked on a hill.

• A book on a shelf.

What is friction?

• Force that opposes motion

• Force that attracts objects

• Force that causes motion

• Force that increases speed

Define work in terms of physics.

• Transfer of energy when a force is not applied and the object is displaced.

• Transfer of energy when a force is applied and the object is not displaced.

• Transfer of energy when a force is applied and the object is displaced in the opposite direction of the force.

• Transfer of energy when a force is applied and the object is displaced in the direction of the force.

Explain the difference between static and kinetic friction.

• Static friction is stronger than kinetic friction.

• Static friction only occurs on rough surfaces, while kinetic friction occurs on smooth surfaces.

• Static friction always opposes the motion of an object, while kinetic friction can either oppose or assist the motion of an object.

• Static friction is for objects at rest, while kinetic friction is for objects in motion.

How does potential energy change as an object moves higher above the ground?

• Potential energy remains constant.

• Potential energy decreases.

• Potential energy increases.

• Potential energy fluctuates.

What is the relationship between work and energy?

• Work and energy are unrelated concepts.

• Energy is the transfer of work.

• Work and energy are the same thing.

• Work is the transfer of energy.
