- Q1What is potential energy?The force that makes an object moveAll of the aboveHow fact an object can moveThe unused energy stored in an unmoving object30s
- Q2The potential energy of a car at the top of a ramp is affected by:The car's speed.The length of the ramplThe height of the ramp.The car's shape.30s
- Q3The force of gravity......slows objects down.cause objects to be pulled in two different directions.pulls objects downward to Earth.pushes objects away from Earth.30s
- Q4What is kinetic energy?The energy in machines.The energy of an object in motion.The energy stored in unmoved objects.None of the above.30s
- Q5What are 2 factors in kinetic energy?height and gravitymass and heightgravity and speedspeed and mass30s
- Q6What type of energy is created when 2 surfaces rub against each other?All of the aboveHeatSoundLight30s
- Q7Why are the rules of energy important to racing?Because potential and kinetic energy help determine how much fuel a race car will need to complete a raceBecause potential and kinetic energy help determine how quickly a race car will goAll of the aboveBecause adjusting the factors that contribute to potential and kinetic energy can help a race car go faster30s
- Q8The energy stored in an object due to its position or condition is called.......kinetic energypotential energyAll of the abovefriction30s
- Q9Imagine 2 objects with the same mass sitting on a bookshelf. If you take one of them and move it to a lower shelf, you have.......increased its potential energyremoved all energy from the objectcaused no change in its potential energydecreased its potential energy30s
- Q10The energy of an object in motion is known as......kinetic energynuclear energypotential energymechanical energy30s
- Q11A race car's brake rotors often glow red because friction generates........heataccelerationpotential energykinetic energy30s
- Q12Knowing about potential and kinetic energy help race car engineers.......understand how the two are relatedreduces the effects of frictiondesign cars that will go fasterAll of the above30s
