A beach ball and a bowling ball were sitting on a shelf. Someone bumped the shelf and the bowling ball, and the beach ball rolled off the shelf at the same time. They both hit the ground at the same time and had the same speed. Which of these statements correctly compares the kinetic energy of the two objects just before they hit the ground?

The bowling ball had more kinetic energy because it has more mass.

The bowling ball had more kinetic energy because it had less potential energy when it was on the shelf.

Both balls had the same kinetic energy because they had the same speed.

Both balls had the same kinetic energy because they had the same potential energy when they were on the shelf.

Vast quantities of natural gas are located beneath Earth’s surface. Natural gas is less costly to extract from the ground than crude oil. Natural gas offers some advantages compared to other energy sources. Despite the large amounts of natural gas, why is it classified as a nonrenewable, rather than a renewable, resource?

The formation of natural gas is a process that takes millions of years.

Natural gas is available underground but not in the atmosphere.

Natural gas can be extracted only during certain times of the year.

The cost of extracting natural gas from the ground is greater than its value.

Scientists are investigating how solar energy can be used along with other energy sources. Which of these best describes why scientists are exploring the use of other types of renewable energy sources along with solar energy?

The collection of solar energy is limited to daylight hours.

Solar energy can be transformed only into electrical energy.

The collection of solar energy requires constant monitoring.

Solar energy is less popular than other types of energy.

Energy from the wind is used to turn windmills. These windmills then spin a generator and produce electricity. Which statement would not support the claim that wind energy is considered a clean, renewable resource?

There are only certain places that are suitable for collecting wind energy.

Wind energy is produced naturally.

Wind energy is used without giving off greenhouse gases.

There is an abundant supply of wind energy available for use.

Sunlight is best classified as a renewable resource because _______.

There is an inexhaustible supply of energy from the sun.

The sun produces new light all the time.

Why is it important for us to conserve nonrenewable resources as much as possible?

Nonrenewable resources are never able to be replaced.

Nonrenewable resources are rare.

Nonrenewable resources are very expensive to produce.

Nonrenewable resources are produced more slowly than we use them.
