12.

A variety of energy transformations occur in different situations. Which of the following statements involves the change from chemical to electromagnetic to mechanical to sound energy?

a)

A charcoal grill feels hot.

b)

A basketball player throws a basketball.

c)

A cell phone plays a video from YouTube.

d)

13.

When a ball bounces, it has changing amounts of potential and kinetic energy. Eventually the ball will stop bouncing and come to rest. Which of the following best describes why the ball stops bouncing?

a)

The ball’s energy is transformed into chemical energy.

b)

The ball’s energy gets transformed to heat and sound energy.

c)

The mass of the ball is too small to allow the ball to continue its own

motion.

d)

The pull of gravity is stronger than the energy in the ball, which makes the

ball stop bouncing.

14.

A student observes a beaker of room temperature water resting on a table. She states that the beaker of water does not have any energy. Which statement below is accurate regarding her observation?

a)

She is correct because the beaker of water is not moving.

b)

She is incorrect because the beaker of water has thermal energy.

c)

She is incorrect because all water contains hydrogen and oxygen.

d)

She is correct because the beaker of water is at room temperature.
