by moving charges
3) Heating/Radiation - light, sound - CORRECT ANSWER How is energy transferred?
What happens when an object falls and gains speed? - CORRECT ANSWER When an object falls and gains speed, its gravitational potential energy store decreases and its kinetic energy store increases.
When a falling objects hits the ground without bouncing back, its kinetic energy store is transferred by heating to the thermal energy store of the object and surroundings, and by sound waves moving away from the point of impact. - CORRECT ANSWER What happens when a falling object hits the ground without bouncing back?
-Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
-Energy can be transferred usefully, stored, or dissipated. - CORRECT ANSWER The conservation of energy
An isolated system in which no energy transfers take place out of or into the energy stores of the system.
Energy can be transferred within a closed system. The total energy of the system is always the same, both before and after any such transfers. - CORRECT ANSWER What is a closed system?
When a force moves an object, energy is transferred to the object and work is done.
energy transferred = work done - CORRECT ANSWER When is work done on an object?
Joules (J) - CORRECT ANSWER What units do both work and energy have?
If an object does not move when a force is applied to it, no work is done on the object. - CORRECT ANSWER What happens when an object does not move even though force is applied to it?
