BSE UNIT 2 LESSON 3 Energy in the Built Environment Quiz

What is energy used for in the built environment?

• To create matter

• To destroy matter

• To heat, power, and light

• To measure time

In science, how is energy expressed?

• As the amount of heat produced by a fire

• As the amount of work done by a force

• As the speed of an object in motion

• As the volume of a liquid

Can energy be created or destroyed?

• Yes, it can be created and destroyed

• No, it can only be converted from one form to another

• Yes, but it can only be destroyed, not created

• No, it is a constant in the universe

What are the units of energy?

• Watts (W)

• Newtons (N)

• Joules (J)

• Ampere (A)

What is a transducer?

• A device that measures energy

• A device that stores energy

• A device that converts energy from one form to another

• A device that destroys energy

Which of the following is an example of potential energy?

• A spinning fan

• A flowing river

• A car parked at the top of a slope

• A burning candle

How is a force defined in the context of physics?

• A) A reaction to an object's movement

• B) A push or pull that changes an object's state of motion or causes the object to deform

• C) The energy an object possesses due to its motion

• D) A measure of the gravitational pull on an object
