BSE UNIT 2 LESSON 3 Energy in the Built Environment Quiz

What is energy used for in the built environment?

• To cool, weaken, and darken

• To heat, power, and light

• To measure, calculate, and design

• To paint, decorate, and design

In science, how is energy expressed?

• As the amount of heat produced by a light source

• As the amount of work done by a force

• As the speed at which work is done

• As the capacity to perform electrical work

Can energy be created or destroyed?

• Yes, it can be created and destroyed

• No, it can only be converted from one form to another

• Yes, but it can only be destroyed, not created

• No, it can neither be created nor converted

What are the units of energy?

• Watts (W)

• Newtons (N)

• Joules (J)

• Volts (V)

What is a transducer?

• A device that stores energy without converting it

• A device that measures the amount of energy used

• A device that converts energy from one form to another

• A device that creates energy from natural resources

What is an example of a transducer?

• A 12V car battery that stores chemical energy

• A 12V car battery that converts chemical energy into an electromotive force of 12V

• A solar panel that converts light into heat

• A wind turbine that generates electricity without conversion

What type of energy is due to motion?

• Thermal energy

• Potential energy

• Kinetic energy

• Chemical energy

Which of the following is an example of potential energy?

• A car accelerating on a highway

• A wind turbine in motion

• A car parked at the top of a slope

• A river flowing downstream

What is a force defined as in the context of physics?

• A reaction to an action

• A push or pull that changes an object's state of motion or causes the object to deform

• The speed at which an object moves

• A measure of the object's mass

How many fundamental forces are there in nature according to the document?

• Two

• Three

• Four

• Five
