Grade 10 Energy and Momentum
What is the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy?
  1. kinetic energy is stored energy that has the capacity to do work, and potential energy is the energy of motion
  2. kinetic energy is energy that an object possesses as a result of its location, and potential is the same as heat energy
  3. kinetic energy can be converted into various forms of energy, whereas potential energy can only be transformed into heat energy
  4. kinetic energy is energy of a moving object, whereas potential energy is energy possessed by matter as a result of its location or structure
  5. kinetic energy can be created or destroyed, while potential energy can be created and destroyed
Grade 10 Energy and Momentum
What is the main difference between kinetic energy and potential energy?
  1. Although both energies involve motion, only kinetic involves position.
  2. Kinetic energy involves position and potential energy involves motion.
  3. Although both energies involve position, only potential involves motion.
  4. Kinetic energy involves motion and potential energy involves position.
Grade 10 Energy and Momentum
Work is a transfer of                .
  1. energy

Grade 10 Energy and Momentum
Three forms of energy are                                        .
  1. chemical, exothermic, and temperature
  2. chemical, thermal, and electromagnetic
  3. electrical, nuclear, and temperature
  4. electrical, mechanical, and endothermic
Grade 10 Energy and Momentum
If a circuit is open, does it waste electricity?
  1. No, since the circuit is open, no electricity is flowing.
  2. Yes, since the circuit is open, no electricity is flowing.
  3. No, since the circuit is closed, no electricity is flowing.
  4. Yes, since the circuit is open, electricity is flowing.
