Energy Quiz

What is potential energy?

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

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

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

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

Give an example of an object with high potential energy.

• inflated balloon

• fully charged battery

• compressed spring

• stretched rubber band

What factors affect an object's potential energy?

• mass and height or position

• temperature and pressure

• color and shape

• velocity and time

What is kinetic energy?

• Energy possessed by an object at rest

• Energy possessed by an object due to its motion

• Energy possessed by an object due to its shape

• Energy possessed by an object due to its position

Give an example of an object with high kinetic energy.

• moving car

• stationary rock

• sleeping cat

• motionless tree

What factors affect an object's kinetic energy?

• mass and velocity

• volume and pressure

• color and shape

• density and temperature

What is the formula to calculate potential energy?

• potential energy = mass * gravity * height

• potential energy = force * distance

• potential energy = mass * acceleration * height

• potential energy = mass * gravity * distance

What is the formula to calculate kinetic energy?

• KE = 1/2 * m * v^2

• KE = 1/2 * m * v

• KE = m * v

• KE = m * v^2

What is the unit of measurement for energy?

Explain the law of conservation of energy.

• Energy can be created from nothing.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

• Energy can only be transformed into matter.

• Energy can be created and destroyed at will.
