Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all work for calculation problems.
1. Which of the following best describes kinetic energy?
Energy stored due to position or state.
Energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
Heat energy transferred between objects.
Energy created during a chemical reaction.
2. An object is lifted to a certain height. What type of energy does it primarily gain?
Kinetic energy
Thermal energy
Potential energy
Chemical energy
3. The law of states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
4. Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's , , and the acceleration due to gravity.
5. A 2 kg ball is dropped from a height of 10 meters. Calculate its potential energy at that height. (g = 9.8 m/s²)
6. If the same 2 kg ball from question 5 reaches the ground with a speed of 14 m/s, what is its kinetic energy just before impact?
7. As a pendulum swings upwards, its kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.
True
False
8. An object at rest has zero potential energy.
True
False
9. Describe a real-world scenario where both potential and kinetic energy are involved, and explain how energy transforms between these two forms. Use an illustration to support your explanation.
