Questions and Answers

What type of energy is associated with the motion of an object?

  • Chemical energy
  • Potential energy
  • Nuclear energy
  • Kinetic energy (correct)

What is the relationship between the total amount of energy in the Universe and the ability to transform energy from one form to another?

  • The total amount of energy in the Universe can only be transformed from one form to another, but not changed.
  • The total amount of energy in the Universe never changes, even as energy is transformed from one form to another. (correct)
  • The total amount of energy in the Universe increases as energy is transformed from one form to another.
  • The total amount of energy in the Universe decreases as energy is transformed from one form to another.

How is work defined in physics, and how does it differ from the everyday usage of the term?

  • Work in physics is defined as the force applied to an object multiplied by the time it takes to move the object, which is different from the everyday usage of the term.
  • Work in physics is defined as the force applied to an object multiplied by the acceleration of the object, which is different from the everyday usage of the term.
  • Work in physics is defined as the force applied to an object multiplied by the distance it moves, which is different from the everyday usage of the term. (correct)
  • Work in physics is defined as the force applied to an object multiplied by the velocity of the object, which is different from the everyday usage of the term.
