Jane puts some water into an electric kettle and then she connects it to the power source. She observes that after some time, the water inside the kettle heats up and begins to boil. What is happening?

C) Electrical energy is transforming into heat energy.

Which type of energy transformation does NOT describe potential energy being changed into kinetic energy?

Compressing a spring.

Energy can be changed from one form to another. Changes in the form of energy are called energy conversions. Identify which best describes the energy used to pluck guitar strings to make sound.

D) mechanical

A ball is projected into the air. Describe the change(s) in potential and kinetic energy.

potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

A ball is tossed up in the air. At its peak, it stops before beginning to fall. The ball at its peak has...

potential energy only.

The rock in the picture is pushed over the edge and it begins to fall. Which type of energy conversion is taking place?

potential to kinetic

A soap box derby car at the top of a ramp has more _________ energy and at the finish line at the bottom of the ramp it has more _________ energy.

potential, kinetic

A positive, but not linear relationship.

Which example shows electrical energy being transformed into heat energy?

B) a small toaster oven toasts a bagel

How does the mass of a bowling ball that has been rolled down the lane affect the kinetic energy?

The kinetic energy is increases proportional to the mass of the bowling ball.

A book is pushed and released and it slides across a table for a short distance. The book quickly comes to a stop. The book originally has kinetic energy. To what form of energy is the kinetic energy transformed?

The kinetic energy is transformed into heat.

When a person does work on an object, the object gains energy. As a bicycle rider rides from the bottom to the top of a hill, the energy from the work can become which combination of types of energy.

The riders work becomes a combination of gravitational potential, kinetic energy and heat
