• Mechanical Energy
• Light Energy
• Electrical Energy
• Thermal Energy

6. What type of energy is stored in food and fuel?

• Radiant Energy
• Mechanical Energy
• Thermal Energy
• Chemical Energy

7. What unit tells you how much energy is needed, stored or applied to perform work?

• Joule
• calorie
• Calorie
• all of the above

9. The movement of the same form of energy from one object to another is called:

• Energy transfer
• Energy transformation
• work
• power

11. What is the source of ALL energy on Earth?

• Atoms
• Sun
• Clouds

13. Which of the following explains why a ball rolling on a table eventually comes to a stop?

• Gravity causes the ball to sink into the table and stop moving
• Electromagnetic forces slow the ball down
• Energy of the ball is dissipated to the surroundings
• The ball loses mass, causing it to slow down
