1.

An open system is...

a)

an object with a hole in it

b)

an object which gains or loses energy

c)

an object which does not let energy in or out

d)

an object that is outside

2.

Almost all objects lose energy in the form of (a)   .

3.

Select the correct equation:

a)

Efficiency = usefulwasted×100Efficiency\ =\ \frac{useful}{wasted}\times100

b)

Efficiency = wasteduseful×100Efficiency\ =\ \frac{wasted}{useful}\times100

c)

Efficiency = wastedinput×100Efficiency\ =\ \frac{wasted}{input}\times100

d)

Efficiency =usefulinput×100Efficiency\ =\frac{useful}{input}\times100
