    Energy is the ability to do:

    • Work

    • Play

    • Study

    • Teach

    Correct Answer
    A. Work
    Explanation
    Energy is the ability to do work. Work refers to the application of force to move an object over a distance. Energy enables us to exert force and accomplish tasks. Play, study, and teach are activities that require energy, but they are not the definition of energy itself.

    What is energy measured with?

    • Joules

    • Litres

    • Kilograms

    • Decibels

    Correct Answer
    A. Joules
    Explanation
    Energy is a physical quantity that is measured in joules. Joules is the standard unit of measurement for energy in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the amount of work done or the amount of heat transferred. Litres, kilograms, and decibels are not units of measurement for energy, but rather for volume, mass, and sound intensity respectively.

    Heat energy can:

    • Conduct electricity

    • Set something on fire

    • Increase the temperature of a substance

    • Freeze things

    Correct Answer
    A. Increase the temperature of a substance
    Explanation
    Heat energy is the energy transferred between substances or objects due to a difference in temperature. When heat energy is added to a substance, it increases the kinetic energy of its molecules, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently. This increase in molecular motion leads to an increase in the substance's temperature. Therefore, the correct answer is that heat energy can increase the temperature of a substance.

    What are three ways that heat can move?

    • Conduction, Radiation and Sound

    • Light, Heat and Radiation

    • Radiation, Conduction and Convection

    • Convection, Light and Sound

    Correct Answer
    A. Radiation, Conduction and Convection
    Explanation
    Heat can move through three different processes: radiation, conduction, and convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as the heat we receive from the sun. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects, like when you touch a hot stove. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, such as when warm air rises and cool air sinks.

    What happens when an object is hot?

    • The particles disappear

    • The particles vibrate

    • The particles stay in one spot

    • The particles vibrate more rapidly

    Correct Answer
    A. The particles vibrate more rapidly
    Explanation
    When an object is hot, the particles within the object gain energy and start moving faster. This increased energy causes the particles to vibrate more rapidly. As a result, the object's temperature rises, and it may emit heat or radiation. The increased vibration of particles is what causes the object to feel hot to the touch.

    The two main types of energy are:

    • Heat and light

    • Kinetic and Potential

    • Radiation and Sound

    • Kinetic and Heat

    Correct Answer
    A. Kinetic and Potential
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Kinetic and Potential. Kinetic energy refers to the energy possessed by an object due to its motion, while potential energy refers to the energy possessed by an object due to its position or condition. These two types of energy are fundamental and can be found in various systems and phenomena. Heat and light, radiation and sound are also types of energy, but they are not the main types mentioned in the question.
