What is potential energy?

• Energy of motion

• Stored energy

• Thermal energy

• Light energy

Where is the potential energy in our CO2 Dragster?

• CO2 Chamber

• Wood

• Dragster traveling down the track

• Wheels

What is kinetic energy?

• Stored energy

• Energy of motion

• Sound energy

• Chemical energy

Which energy is created when potential energy is released?

• Kinetic energy

• Thermal energy

• Nuclear energy

• Electrical energy

What is an example of kinetic energy in our CO2 Dragster race?

• CO2 Chamber

• Wood

• Dragster traveling down the track

• Wheels

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be:

• Created or destroyed

• Transformed

• Transferred

• None of the above

How is force defined?

• Speed or velocity

• Matter or substance

• Push or pull

• Light or heat

The initial force in our CO2 Dragster.

• Thrust from the CO2 gas being released

• Gravity

• Air resistance

• Friction

The opposite forces slowing our CO2 Dragster down.

• Friction only

• Air resistance only

• Friction and air resistance

• Gravity

What does Newton’s First Law of Motion state?

• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

• The acceleration of an object is dependent on the net force acting upon it and the mass of the object

• An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force
