Rubbing two wooden sticks together can sometimes result in a fire. What would increase the probability of a fire starting?

Using longer sticks.

Rubbing the sticks together more quickly.

Holding the sticks higher off the ground.

None of the answers are correct.

Which statement most accurately describes the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Energy can not be created or destroyed but it can change from one type to another.

Energy is created from the Earth and is destroyed when we use it.

Energy should be saved (conserved) for use in the future.

All forms of energy can be classified as either potential or kinetic.

The efficiency of an average gasoline-powered car is about 20%. This means,

The gas tank needs to be 20% filled with gasoline for motion.

The car uses 80% of the energy stored in the gasoline for motion.

The car uses 20% of the energy stored in the gasoline for motion.

The car wastes 20% of the energy stored in gasoline.

Hat energy transformation takes place when a radio is plugged in and turned on?

Kinetic to potential

Electrical to sound

Wire to radio waves

Battery to Motion

When you open the door to a refrigerator for a minute, what happens?

Thermal energy in the refrigerator is transferred to the air outside the refrigerator.

Thermal energy in the air outside the refrigerator is transferred to the inside of the refrigerator.

The temperature of the air inside the refrigerator decreases.

The temperature of the air just outside the refrigerator increases.

Cory noticed that the hood of the car was hot after driving it for a while. What energy transformation was she noticing?

Chemical energy --> thermal energy

Thermal energy --> motion (kinetic)

Temperature energy --> braking energy

Motion (kinetic) --> light energy

Which formula below is NOT correct?

Speed = Distance / Time

Time x Speed = Distance

Velocity = (Distance / Time) + Direction

Velocity = (Distance / Time)
