Quiz Answers

Hello Students:

I apologize for not posting the quiz answers here. I'm having technical difficulty on my computer (I think the projector might have fried it). So I'm posting this from a friend's computer (yes I do have friends).

I know you'll do your best to get those answers (as they are in the book and in your notes). Call me if you have dire questions. I've included lots of bonus questions on the test so everything should work out.

best,
J. Gibney

Phys Energy Sample Quiz Questions Answer Guide

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. D
2. B
3. C
4. B
5. D
6. C
7. A

COMPLETION
8. thermal
9. mechanical

SHORT ANSWER
10. Nuclei are broken apart.
11. D
12. a ball on a desk has potential energy; as it falls, it has both potential energy and kinetic energy
13.
thermal - Energy used in temperature, pressure, and volume exchanges. Usually involves heat. Example: lighting a candle

chemical – reactions involving chemical compounds Example: Rust comes from combination of iron, water, and oxygen to form a hydrated iron oxide, commonly called rust.

electromagnetic – involving electricity Example: Lightning

mechanical - motions of objects and their response to forces (mostly what we have been studying) Example: throwing a ball and calculating the energy involved

nuclear energy - energy released during the splitting or fusing of atomic nuclei. Example: Nuclear power plants.

PROBLEM
14. 1/2 mv2 = 1/2 (18 + 62)(7)2 = 1,960 J
