Gary took his little nerdy cart and put it on a hill. Then he let it go. What kind of energy did he make?
- A.
Chemical Energy
- B.
Potential Energy
- C.
Kinetic Energy
- D.
Monkey Energy
- E.
Mechanical Energy
Correct Answer
C. Kinetic EnergyExplanation
When Gary let his little nerdy cart go down the hill, it started moving and gained speed. This indicates that the cart had kinetic energy, which is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. As the cart moved, its potential energy (due to its position on the hill) transformed into kinetic energy. Therefore, the correct answer is Kinetic Energy.Rate this question:

What is a disadvantage and a advantage of Wind Energy?
- A.
It kills birds and it clears land
- B.
It is renewable and is cheap
- C.
It kills birds and is renewable
- D.
It is free and kills turtles
- E.
Beasty
Correct Answer
C. It kills birds and is renewableExplanation
Wind energy has the disadvantage of killing birds, as they can collide with the rotating blades of wind turbines. However, it also has the advantage of being a renewable energy source, meaning it will not deplete natural resources and can be continuously replenished. This makes wind energy environmentally friendly and sustainable in the long run.Rate this question:

What is Uranium?
- A.
It is the splitting of atoms to make energy
- B.
The splitting of heavy atomic atoms
- C.
The combining of atoms
- D.

- E.
An atom
Correct Answer
A. It is the splitting of atoms to make energyExplanation
The correct answer is "It is the splitting of atoms to make energy." Uranium is a radioactive element that undergoes a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of the atom is split into two smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. This process is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity.Rate this question:

What is the most polluting type of energy?
- A.
Fossil fuels
- B.
Nuclear
- C.
Wind
- D.
Solar
- E.
