At the exact middle of the ramp.

Which of these would have the greatest potential energy?

A roller coaster at the top of a hill.

A roller coaster at the bottom of the hill.

A roller coaster half-way down the hill.

A roller coaster half-way up the hill.

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy...

The total amount of energy for a system stays the same.

The potential energy of an object is always greater than its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of an object is always greater than its potential energy.

An object loses most of its energy as friction.

As a roller coaster goes downhill...

Potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

Potential energy is transformed into electrical energy.

Electrical energy is transformed into potential energy.

Kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy.

Consider the roller coaster on the track. If you want to increase the kinetic energy of the roller coaster as it proceeds through the course, what is the FIRST thing you should do?

A. Increases the height at point A.

B. Decreases the height at point B.

C. Increases the height at point B.

D. Decreases the height at point A.

Which transformation describe elastic potential energy changing to kinetic energy?

Releasing a stretched rubber-band

Describe the relationship between kinetic energy and speed.

As speed increases, kinetic energy increases

As speed increases, kinetic energy decreases

As speed increases, kinetic energy stays the same

You drop three different balls from your second-floor deck to the ground. The mass of the balls is shown. Which ball will experience the greatest change in kinetic energy from the deck to the ground?

They will all have the same kinetic energy because the height is the same.

Sammie is speeding down the road in his car. He pulls up to a BIG truck and the two are traveling at the same speed down the road. Is there any difference in the kinetic energy of the truck and Sammie's car?

The truck has more kinetic energy than the car because the mass of the truck is greater.

They have the same kinetic energy because kinetic energy is energy of motion.

The car has more kinetic energy because it has been traveling very fast for a long time.

They have the same amount of kinetic energy because they are going at the same speed.

Which of the following best describes the car’s change in energy as it coasts from point X to point Y?

The car has more gravitational potential energy at point Y than at point X.

The car has the same gravitational potential energy at point Y and at point X.

The car has more kinetic energy at point Y than at point X.

The car has the same kinetic energy at point Y and at point X.

Examine the model of the car on the road. Compare the potential energy of the car at point A and point B.

Potential energy is greater at point A.

Potential energy stays the same.

Potential energy is greater at point B.

Potential energy increases between points A and B.

How does a bowling ball work to cause a strike, where all ten pins fall over, to occur?

The bowling ball transfers kinetic energy to the pins.

The bowling ball transfers potential energy to the pins.

The bowling ball transfers thermal energy to the pins.

The bowling ball transfers mass to the pins.

Which statement is an accurate claim about kinetic energy and the temperature of an object?

An increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules.

An increase in temperature results decreases the kinetic energy of the molecules.

The relationship depends on the type of molecules that make the object.

An increase in kinetic energy results in a decrease in the temperature of the object.
