Mason has a small rubber ball. How can he design a test to see how the speed of the ball moving downward affects the energy of the ball?

• Drop the ball and then throw it up in the air and measure how high the ball bounces each time.

• Drop the ball on a hard floor and on a carpet and measure which surface makes the ball bounce higher.

• Drop the ball from the same height several times and measure whether it bounces the same height each time.

• Drop the ball and then throw it down toward the floor and measure how high it bounces each time.

What happens to the energy after you clap your hands?

• It's stored in your muscles.

• It's destroyed because your hands stop moving.

• It's all used up, because your hands stop moving.

• The energy is changed into heat and sound.

Which describes a change that will likely occur in the collision above?

• Kinetic energy will be transferred from the nail to the hammer, causing the hammer to move.

• Kinetic energy will be transferred from the hammer to the nail, causing the nail to move.

• Potential energy will be transferred from the nail to the hammer, causing no change in motion.

• All of the kinetic energy will transform into light energy and no change in motion will occur.
