Energy Transfer Quiz

Metals are a type of?

• Conductors

• Insulators

• Convection

• Radiation

Which type of energy transfer occurs when you touch a hot object and feel it burn?

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Convection

• Insulation

What is the process called when heat energy is transferred through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases)?

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Convection

• Transformation

• The amount of velocity

• The speed of sound in air

• The gravitational acceleration

• The energy content of a mass

Which form of energy transfer is responsible for the warmth of the Earth by the Sun?

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

• Reflection

What is kinetic energy?

• The energy stored in an object due to its position

• The energy stored in an object due to its temperature

• The energy an object has due to its motion

• The energy released during a chemical reaction

How does mass affect kinetic energy?

• Mass does not affect kinetic energy.

• an increase in mass will increase kinetic energy.

• a decrease in mass will increase kinetic energy.

• an increase in mass will cause kinetic energy to become zero.

What is potential energy?

• The energy an object has due to its motion

• The energy stored in an object due to its position or state

• The energy transferred between objects at different temperatures

• The energy released by the sun

Which of the following is a renewable source of energy?

• Coal

• Natural Gas

• Solar Energy

• Nuclear Energy

What is the principle behind the conservation of energy?

• Energy can be created but not destroyed

• Energy can be destroyed but not created

• Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another

• Energy can be converted to mass but not vice versa
