Question 1

Which of the following is the best example of potential energy?

ANSWER

a ball sitting at the top of a hill

EXPLANATION

As we know that Potential Energy is given by

U = mgh

so as height will be more more is the potential energy

Question 2  

Which of the following is an example of kinetic energy?

ANSWER

a girl running in a race

EXPLANATION

As we know that Kinetic Energy is given by

So more speed means more kinetic energy

Question 3

The water held by a dam is an example of which type of energy?

 ANSWER

potential energy

EXPLANATION

As we know that Potential Energy is given by

U = mgh

Since water is at rest so its energy is Potential Energy

Question 4

What does the kinetic theory explain?

 ANSWER

Heat is due to the motion of molecules.

EXPLANATION

As the molecules of medium is in motion so it shows energy transfer which is also known as HEAT

Question 5

If the atoms and molecules of a substance are moving very fast, the substance is __________.

 ANSWER

Hot

EXPLANATION

Since heat is the measure of motion of molecules so here since molecules are moving fast then temperature must be more

Question 6 (1 point)

Heat energy is measured indirectly by __________.

 ANSWER

Recording of motion of molecules

EXPLANATION

Since heat will show the speed of molecules so motion of molecules is represented by heat.

Question 7

What are the ways that heat moves?

 ANSWER

Heat moves through conduction convection and radiation

EXPLANATION

There  are three ways of thermal energy transfer

conduction, convection, and radiation.

Question 8

Convection requires __________ to transfer heat.

 ANSWER

As the molecules of medium is in motion so it shows energy transfer which is also known as HEAT

EXPLANATION

In convection mode of heat transfer the molecules will move and carry heat along with them.

Question 9

What does an insulator do?

 ANSWER

An insulator slows heat transfer.

EXPLANATION

Thermal insulator stops the flow of heat through them and complete slow down of heat

current flows in a wire
