- Q1When a bowling ball rolls and hits a stationary bowling pin, what happens to the energy?The bowling ball transfers some of its energy to the pinThe ball loses all of its energyThe pin starts to roll backwardsThe bowling pin disappears30s
- Q2If a rubber ball is dropped from a height and bounces back, what type of energy change occurs?Potential energy changes to kinetic energyKinetic energy changes to sound energyNo energy change occursHeat energy turns into light energy30s
- Q3During a game of marbles, what happens to the energy when one marble hits another marble and they both move?The first marble loses all of its energyThe first marble transfers some of its energy to the second marbleThe marbles disappearBoth marbles float away30s
- Q4When a firework explodes in the sky, what happens to the energy during the explosion?Chemical energy is transformed into light and sound energyLight energy turns into thermal energyThe firework disappears completelyPotential energy is stored in the air30s
- Q5What happens to the energy when a skateboarder goes down a ramp?Kinetic energy is converted to heat energyPotential energy is converted to kinetic energyPotential energy increases while going downThe skateboarder gains magical energy30s
- Q6When two swimmers push off from the side of a pool, what happens to the energy from their push?The energy vanishes into thin airThe energy is converted into kinetic energy that makes them moveThe swimmers float away without movingThe energy turns into potential energy30s
- Q7
What does it mean to collide?
When energy transfers to another object.
When an object moves fast then slows down.
When an object falls from high up in the air.
When two objects hit each other.
30s - Q8What happens to the energy of a rubber band when it snaps?The energy is released as sound and motionThe energy becomes lightIt turns into waterThe rubber band disappears completely30s
