Unit D Vocabulary Quiz

The ability to cause objects to change, move, or do work.

• Energy

• Energy Transfer

• Energy Transformation

• Gravitational Potential Energy

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'Energy' because it is the ability to cause objects to change, move, or do work.

The transfer of energy from one object to another.

• Energy

• Energy Transfer

• Energy Transformation

• Gravitational Potential Energy

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'Energy Transfer' because it specifically refers to the transfer of energy from one object to another.

The change of energy from one type to another, such as from potential to kinetic.

• Energy

• Energy Transfer

• Energy Transformation

• Gravitational Potential Energy

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'Energy Transformation' because it refers to the change of energy from one type to another, such as from potential to kinetic.

Energy stored due to an object's mass and height.

• Energy

• Energy Transfer

• Energy Transformation

• Gravitational Potential Energy

Answer explanation

The energy stored due to an object's mass and height is known as Gravitational Potential Energy.

Energy of motion.

• Kinetic energy

• Potential energy

• Friction

• Thermal energy

Answer explanation

The energy of motion is known as kinetic energy, making it the correct choice in this question.

Energy of position or stored energy

• Kinetic energy

• Potential energy

• Friction

• Thermal energy

Answer explanation

Potential energy is the energy of position or stored energy, making it the correct choice.

A force at the boundary between any two objects in contact.

• Kinetic energy

• Potential energy

• Friction

• Thermal energy

Answer explanation

Friction is the force at the boundary between any two objects in contact.

Energy that is transferred from a warm object to a cooler object.

• Kinetic energy

• Potential energy

• Friction

• Thermal energy

Answer explanation

Thermal energy is transferred from a warm object to a cooler object as heat.

The ratio of useful energy released by a process to the total energy absorbed by the process; useful energy released: total energy absorbed.

• Efficiency

• Law of conservation of energy

• Chemical energy

• Elastic energy

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'Efficiency' because it represents the ratio of useful energy released to the total energy absorbed by a process.

The scientific law states that energy can be transferred or transformed but cannot be lost or destroyed.

• Efficiency

• Law of conservation of energy

• chemical energy

• elastic energy

Answer explanation

The correct answer is the Law of conservation of energy, which states that energy can be transferred or transformed but cannot be lost or destroyed.
