A metal pot holding water is being warmed on an electric stove burner. Which of the

following statements BEST explains how the first law of thermodynamics applies to the

water in the pot?

• energy of the water = energy from the burner - work done on surrounding

• energy of the water = energy from the burner + work done on surrounding

• energy of the water = energy from the burner - heat loss due to friction

• energy of the water = energy from the burner

A ball is dropped from a window and bounces three times. The first bounce is 60 centimeters high. The second bounce is 40 centimeters high. The third bounce is 15 centimeters high.

The ball then rolls and comes to a stop.

What has happened to the energy of the ball when it has come to a stop?

• The potential energy of the ball has decreased.

• The kinetic energy of the ball has increased.

• The potential energy has been transformed into kinetic energy.

• The potential energy of the ball has increased during energy transfer.

A steel ball, a rubber ball, a wet ball of clay, and a golf ball of the same mass are dropped from rest 10.0 m above the ground. The steel ball rebounds from the ground at a speed 1/4 of its impact speed, the rubber ball rebounds with a speed 3/4 of its impact speed, the wet ball of clay sticks to the ground and comes to rest, and the golf ball rebounds with a speed of 1/2 its impact speed. Which ball received the greatest impulse from the ground?

• steel ball

• rubber ball

• clay ball

• golf ball
