- Q7A group of sheep are grazing in a field. As they eat, the sheep break down the molecules in the grass, which releases energy. Which form of energy is stored in the grass?Nuclear energyChemical energyElastic energyThermal energy120s
- Q8Damon is a musician playing in a band. At the end of a song, he plucks a single guitar string. The string moves rapidly back and forth as shown in the figure below. Which of these statements explains what happens to the kinetic energy of the moving string?The kinetic energy is converted to sound energy and thermal energy.The kinetic energy is destroyed until no energy remains.The kinetic energy is changed into potential energy and stored.Some of the energy is converted to sound energy, but the rest is destroyed.120s
- Q9When a space shuttle takes off, the chemical reactions of the fuel give the shuttle the kinetic energy to leave Earth’s atmosphere as shown in the figure below. The kinetic energy of the space shuttle is less than the potential energy of the fuel used. Which statement BEST explains this idea?The potential energy is used to overcome Earth’s gravity.The potential energy is destroyed by the warmth of the reaction.The potential energy is also converted to light, thermal energy, and sound energy.The potential energy must be consumed to make the fuel burn.120s
