energy
collision
matter
force
During a science experiment, a toy car was rolled down a ramp.
When the ramp was raised higher, the car moved faster and pushed a foam block a greater distance.
Which statement best explains why the block moved farther when the ramp was steeper?
The ramp was longer, so the car had more time to move.
The foam block was lighter when the ramp was higher.
The toy car had more energy because it was moving faster.
The ramp pushed the block instead of the car.
Two players kicked soccer balls at a goal.
Player A kicked gently, and the ball rolled slowly.
Player B kicked hard, and the ball sped across the field.
Which statement best supports the claim that faster objects have more energy?
Player A used a lighter ball.
Player B’s ball traveled farther and hit the net harder.
Player A aimed better than Player B.
Both players kicked the ball the same way.
During an experiment, students rolled a marble into a cup. The cup tipped over and moved. The faster the marble rolled, the farther the cup moved.
Which question best leads to a scientific investigation about this event?
What is the color of the marble used in the experiment?
How much energy does the cup have before the marble hits it?
What happens to the cup’s movement if the marble rolls faster?
Can a marble roll without being touched?
In a Rube Goldberg machine, a rolling ball hits a stack of dominos. The dominos fall and knock over a cup.
What does this part of the machine show about energy?
The dominos slow down the energy and stop it from moving.
The ball transfers energy to the dominos, which then transfer energy to the cup.
The energy is lost after the ball hits the first domino.
The cup creates energy on its own when it falls over.
Which of the following is NOT true about energy?
Energy can be created, but cannot be destroyed.
Energy in equals energy out.
Energy can be transferred from place to place.
Energy can change into different forms.
You tie a metal fork to a string and gently tap it. You hold the string to your ear and hear a sound.
What question could you investigate to learn more about how sound energy moves?
What happens if you use a plastic fork instead?
What color is the string?
How sharp is the fork?
Is the sound louder in a noisy room?
Students noticed that when they hit a drum harder, it made a louder sound and the sound traveled farther.
Which statement best explains how energy moved in this example?
The sound bounced off the walls and stayed in the room.
The drum always makes the same sound, no matter what.
The harder hit gave more energy to the drum, so the sound traveled farther.
The drum used electricity to make the sound louder.
Energy is ____________ from one object to another during a collision.
forced
transferred
collided
taken
Which answer choice provides the BEST example of motion energy?
A seatbelt in a car
A person standing at a crosswalk
A car traveling down a highway
A traffic jam
How does speed affect objects in a collision?
Slower moving objects transfer more energy.
Equal amounts of energy are transferred. Speed is not a factor.
The amount of energy transferred is based on size, not speed.
Faster moving objects transfer more energy.
What two factors determine how much damage is caused in a collision?
Mass and Speed
Shape and Mass
Speed and Shape
Mass and Volume
Which scenario below BEST describes the transfer of energy between two objects?
When two objects collide, the energy is transferred based on which object collided first.
When objects collide, the amount of energy in each object determines how and where the energy is transferred.
When two objects collide, the object with less speed will transfer energy to the object with more speed.
When objects collide, the motion energy in both objects is transferred to the air around the objects.
Two spheres are moving towards each other on a flat surface.
Based on the information in the diagram, how will the energy most likely transfer when they collide?
The energy will transfer from Sphere B to Sphere A because Sphere B is moving slower.
The energy will transfer from Sphere A to Sphere B because Sphere A is larger.
The energy will transfer from Sphere A to Sphere B because Sphere A is moving faster.
No energy will transfer between Sphere A and Sphere B because they are both moving at high speeds.
Fill in the blanks to make the statement true.
“As the ______________ of an object increases, its ______________ also increases.”
collision / energy
speed / energy
energy / collision
