Alana was walking with her family along the Mississippi River. As they walked along the levee, Alana was observing the water’s movement. Water was moving past the rocks at a fast speed. When Alana asked her mom about the energy of the water, her mom told her that because the water was moving quickly, that meant it possessed a lot of energy.

Based on this passage, what can you infer about the relationship between speed and energy?

• As an object’s speed increases, its energy decreases.

• As an object’s speed decreases, its energy increases.

• Speed and energy are not connected.

• As an object’s speed increases, its energy increases.

Scholars built an electrical circuit like the one shown in the diagram. When the switch is closed, energy from the battery lights the bulb. This is evidence that...

• energy can move from place to place.

• only copper can be used for wires.

• batteries will lose energy after time.

• The switch is not needed in the circuit.

KIPPsters went on a camping trip to Bogue Chitto. They built a campfire so they could sit around and tell ghost stories while roasting marshmallows.

What two types of energy did the fire produce?

• electrical and energy of motion

• solar and sound

• light and heat

• light and chemical energy

When two moving objects collide, the motion of both objects will change. Why does the motion of the objects change during a collision?

• Energy is transferred from one object to the other, causing a change in speed.

• Energy is transferred into heat and sound, causing you to hear the objects.

• Objects lose mass when they collide, so they weigh less.

• The motion of all objects is changing all the time.

This illustration shows the relative positions of a light source, an apple, a piece of paper, and a person.

Which of the following best explains why the person shown is not able to see the apple?

• Light cannot reach the apple to reflect off of its surface.

• The piece of paper is reflecting light energy from the light source.

• No light from the light source is able to reach the person.

• The light reflected off of the apple cannot reach the person’s eye.
