ENERGY TEST REVIEW
What are the 5 properties of energy?
QUESTION 1
Answer 1
1) Energy can be transformed2) Energy can transfer3) Energy can come in many
forms4) Energy comes from the sun5) Energy can be stored
QUESTION 2
Give an example of energy being transformed.
Answer 2
Electrical energy enters a light. The electrical energy is transformed into light and thermal energy.
Electrical energy
light energy
thermal energy
QUESTION 3
Give an example of an energy transfer.
ANSWER 3
Antonia is running. She has mechanical energy. She pushes Cristobal. Cristobal receives the mechanical energy and falls.
The mechanical energy transfers from Antonia to Cristobal, but the energy type stays the same.
QUESTION 4
Give an example of the property “Energy can come in many types”
ANSWER 4
Energy can be in the following types:
-solar -electrical -chemical -mechanical -thermal -light
QUESTION 5
Give an example of energy being stored.
ANSWER 5
When energy is not being used, it is stored. It can be used later.
For example, a bottle of soda has chemical energy. If no one drinks it, the energy is stored in the bottle.
When a person drinks the soda, the energy will not be stored, it will be used.
QUESTION 6
Which property does this picture represent?
Chemical energy from gasoline changes into thermal and mechanical energy when the car is used.
ANSWER 6
Energy can be transformed (it changes from chemical -> mechanical/thermal)
QUESTION 7
Which property does this picture represent?
The boy kicks his foot at the ball and the ball moves forward.
ANSWER 7
Energy can be transferred. (The boy’s foot has mechanical energy and gives mechanical energy to the ball)
QUESTION 8
Complete the energy transformations that occur:Item Uses this type
of energy……and changes into this type of energy
Fire stove
Tractor
Soccer player
ANSWER 8Item Uses this type
of energy……and changes into these type of energy
Fire stove Chemical Energy Heat energy, light energy
Tractor Chemical EnergyMechanical energyHeat energySound energy
Soccer player Chemical Energy Mechanical energyThermal energy
QUESTION 9
What is the difference between an energy transformation and an energy transfer?
ANSWER 9
A transfer is when energy moves from one object to another without changing forms.
A transformation is when energy changes its form
QUESTION 10
Explain the Law of Conservation of Energy.
ANSWER 10
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
QUESTION 11
Use the picture to explain the Law of Conservation of Energy.
100% Chemical Energy
60% Thermal energy
20% Sound energy
20% Mechanical energy
ANSWER 11
100% of the energy that enters the tractor is chemical. 100% of the energy is used and transformed.
However, some of the energy is transformed into unnecessary forms, such as thermal energy. We say this energy is “lost” because it does not help the tractor move.
Some energy will always be lost.
QUESTION 12
What is energy?
ANSWER 12
Energy is the ability to work and make change.
Question 13
How do YOU receive energy from the sun?
ANSWER 13
The sun gives solar energy to plants. Plants transform this energy into
chemical energy. Animals eat plants Humans eat animals
QUESTION 14
Explain each part of this process as an energy transfer or transformation.
ANSWER 14
Solar to chemical chemical to chemical chemical to mechanical
(transformation) (transfer) (transformation)
