Energy can not be transferred from place to place.
False
You can observe the effects of energy.
True
You do work any time you exert a force on an object that causes the object to change its motion in the opposite direction to which you exert the force.
_False____
When you do work on an object, some of your energy is transferred to that object.
True
All forms of energy can be transformed into other forms of energy,
At its highest point, a pendulum has no movement and therefore no potential energy.
True_____
At its highest point, a pendulum has no movement and therefore no potential energy.
false
When a pendulum swings down, potential energy declines as the kinetic energy decreases.
.
_True_____
As a pendulum swings upward, it loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy
_True_____
A pendulum’s kinetic energy and speed are greatest at the bottom, or midpoint, of the swing.
true
Energy transfer occurs when one form of energy changes into another.
false
Energy transformation takes place when energy moves from one object to another.
False
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only change form.
True_____
The SI unit for temperature is the joule.
false
Heat transfers from the warmer object away from the cooler object.
false
Heating a substance can cause its particles to move more quickly.
True_____
Kelvin is the official SI unit of temperature.
True
During a change of state, the thermal energy of a substance changes, but its temperature stays the same.
True
A material with a low specific heat can absorb a great deal of energy without a great change in temperature.
False_____
As matter heats, it usually decreases in volume.
False
It takes _________ for motion to occur.
_energy_____
An object is in __________ if its position changes relative to another object
_motion______
In order for there to be work there must be ________.
_motion__________
The ability to do work or cause change is called ___________.
_energy_________
Gravitational potential energy is affected by the object’s weight and the objects_____________
Height
