Energy Quiz

What is energy?

• Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.

• Energy is the force that holds atoms together.

• Energy is the process of converting matter into energy.

• Energy is the capacity to store information.

Name three different forms of energy.

• kinetic energy, potential energy, and thermal energy

• gravitational energy, radiant energy, and elastic energy.

• nuclear energy, electromagnetic energy, and sound energy.

• mechanical energy, electrical energy, and chemical energy.

What is potential energy?

• Energy possessed by an object due to its position or condition.

• Energy possessed by an object due to its color.

• Energy possessed by an object due to its temperature.

• Energy possessed by an object due to its motion.

What is kinetic energy?

• The energy possessed by an object due to its motion.

• The energy possessed by an object due to its shape.

• The energy possessed by an object due to its position.

• The energy possessed by an object due to its temperature.

What is the law of conservation of energy?

• Energy can be created but not destroyed.

• Energy can be destroyed but not created.

• Energy can be both created and destroyed.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.

What is renewable energy?

• Energy generated from fossil fuels.

• Energy obtained from non-renewable resources.

• Energy collected from naturally replenished resources.

• Energy derived from nuclear power.

What is non-renewable energy?

• Non-renewable energy refers to energy sources that are environmentally friendly.

• Non-renewable energy refers to energy sources that are derived from renewable resources.

• Non-renewable energy refers to energy sources that can be replenished in a short period of time.

• Non-renewable energy refers to energy sources that cannot be replenished or regenerated in a short period of time, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) and nuclear energy.

What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources?

• Renewable energy sources can be replenished naturally, while non-renewable energy sources are finite and cannot be replenished.

• Renewable energy sources are less efficient than non-renewable energy sources.

• Renewable energy sources produce more pollution than non-renewable energy sources.

• Renewable energy sources are more expensive than non-renewable energy sources.
