What is an example of an energy transformation?

When riding a roller coaster: gravitational converts to mechanical and sound energy.

A box on the ground: gravitational that converts to kinetic energy

A bird on a branch: Elastic energy converts to mechanical.

Jumping on a trampoline: Radiant energy to gravitational.

How is energy transformation different from energy transfer?

Energy transformation changes the form of energy, while energy transfer moves energy between systems.

Energy transfer changes the form of energy, while energy transformation moves energy between systems.

Energy transformation only occurs in closed systems.

Energy transformation is the same as energy transfer.

What point has the least amount of potential energy? Support your answer.

A because the higher the cart rolls on the inclined plane, the more potential energy accumulated.

D because the cart has the most potential energy before rolling up the inclined plane.

C because the higher the cart rolls on the inclined plane, the less potential energy accumulated.

B because the cart rolling on the inclined plane does not affect the potential energy of the cart.

If you plan an experiment using two batteries as shown, what is the purpose of the experiment?

To show how energy transforms from chemical to electrical

To show how energy transforms from electrical to chemical

To show how light energy is affected by battery type

To show the effect of radiant energy on batteries.
