Question 11

HS.P4U1.8
What is the primary reason mechanical energy is not conserved in real-world scenarios?

Accepted Answer

The presence of friction and air resistance.

Answer

The energy is destroyed over time.

Answer

The energy is absorbed by objects in the environment.

Answer

The energy spontaneously increases.

Question 12

HS.P4U1.8
Which of the following best distinguishes heat from thermal energy?

Accepted Answer

Heat is energy in transit, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles.

Answer

Heat is the total energy of all particles, while thermal energy is energy transferred due to temperature difference.

Answer

Heat is only present in solids, while thermal energy is present in all states of matter.

Answer

Heat and thermal energy are the same and can be used interchangeably.

Question 13

HS.P4U1.8
When two objects at different temperatures are in contact, how does thermal energy flow?

Accepted Answer

From the object with higher temperature to the object with lower temperature.

Answer

From the object with lower temperature to the object with higher temperature.

Answer

Alternates between objects regardless of their temperatures.

Answer

Only flows if both objects are in motion.

Question 14

HS.P4U1.8
