In which of these objects does the following energy transformation occur?

POTENTIAL CHEMICAL ENERGY TO KINETIC MECHANICAL ENERGY

a)

remote control car

b)

toaster

c)

rubber band

d)

coffee maker

2.

Of these items, which uses sunlight to generate electricity?

a)
b)
c)
d)
3.

Which of the following is an example of the transformation of mechanical energy into sound energy?

a)

heat from a campfire

b)

battery in a flashlight

c)

a violin being played

d)

ice cream melting

4.

Of these items, which best represents the conversion of potential energy into electric energy?

a)
b)
c)
d)
5.

The Law of __________ of Energy states that energy cannot be created and cannot be destroyed. So when energy is converted, the total amount of energy stays the same.

a)

Decimation

b)

Congregation

c)

Decoration

d)

Conservation

6.

True or false: This roller coaster car can travel from Point 1 to Point 2 without any outside force?

a)

True because Point 2 at the end of the coaster track is a little lower than Point 1.

b)

False. Even though Point 2 is a little lower than Point 1, the car will not have enough kinetic energy to make it over the tall hill.

c)

True because the car will gather more potential energy when it gets to the top of the tall hill.

d)

False. Point 2 is much higher than Point 1 so there's not enough kinetic energy.

7.

What type of energy transformation occurs in a stove burner?

a)

thermal (heat) to chemical

b)

electric to thermal (heat)

c)

thermal (heat) to sound

d)

sound to electric/electricity

8.

Which of these best represents the following energy transformation:

CHEMICAL TO ELECTRIC TO MAGNETIC

a)
b)
c)
d)
9.

When a battery runs out, what is happening?

a)

a circuit becomes disconnected and the energy transforms back into chemical energy

b)

all light energy transforms into heat energy

c)

all chemical energy in the battery is transformed into other forms of energy

d)

all heat energy transforms into light energy

10.

In our memory tools we learned that MOTOR "MAKES" MECHANICAL. Since generators are the opposite, __________.

a)

generators transform thermal energy into mechanical energy

b)

generators transform electrical energy into heat energy

c)

generators transform nuclear energy into mechanical energy

d)
