    • Chemical energy.

    • Nuclear energy.

    • Thermal energy.

    • Stored mechanical energy.

    • Radiant energy.

    Correct Answer
    A. Stored mechanical energy.
    Explanation
    Anything that is being pulled apart or squeezed together but resists has stored mechanical energy.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A hot pan has

    • Chemical energy.

    • Nuclear energy.

    • Radiant energy.

    • Electric energy.

    • Thermal energy.

    Correct Answer
    A. Thermal energy.
    Explanation
    Anything that has a temperature has thermal energy.

    Rate this question:

    Fuel, like gasoline, is an example of...

    • Chemical energy

    • Sound energy

    • Radiant energy

    • Nuclear energy

    • Electric energy

    Correct Answer
    A. Chemical energy
    Explanation
    We burn fuel. Burning is a chemical reaction so fuel is chemical energy.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A stretched rubber band is an example of....

    • Gravitational energy.

    • Stored mechanical energy.

    • Radiant energy.

    • Sound energy.

    • Chemical energy.

    Correct Answer
    A. Stored mechanical energy.
    Explanation
    Anything that is being pulled apart or squeezed together but resists has stored mechanical energy.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Nuclear energy comes from splitting apart ....

    • Two molecules.

    • An electron into quarks.

    • An atom's nucleus.

    Correct Answer
    A. An atom's nucleus.
    Explanation
    Nuclear energy comes from the forces that hold together the protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Splitting an atom's nucleus releases nuclear energy.

    Rate this question:

  • 11.

    • Radiation, fusion, fission

    • Microwaves, sound waves, earthquake waves

    Correct Answer
    A. Light waves, u-v rays, x-rays, microwaves, radiowaves
    Explanation
    Any form of light is radiant energy. All the forms of light are as follows: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, u-v rays, x-rays, gamma-rays.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which of the following is NOT a form of potential energy? Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or configuration. Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of molecules, gravitational energy is stored in an object's height above the ground, and elastic energy is stored in a stretched or compressed object. Sound energy, however, is a form of kinetic energy, the energy of motion. It is produced by vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air or water.

    • Chemical energy 

    • Gravitational energy
