5.

You are rolling a football along the ground. You get tired and you stop with the ball. What happened to the gravitational potential energy of the ball?
- A.
  
  Increased.
- B.
  
  Decreased.
- C.
  
  Remained Zero.
- D.
  
  None of the above.
- E.

- A.
  
  Gravitational Field Strength multipied by the mass of the object.
- B.
  
  Force applied to an object multiplied by the distance the object moves. ( In the direction of the force).
- C.
  
  The work done on an object does not depend on the force applied.
- D.
  
  Kinetic energy of the object multiplied by the Gravitational Potential Energy of an object.
- E.
  
  Force applied to an object divided by the distance the object moves ( In the direction of the force).
8.

An object is 5 metres high off the ground on earth. The object is then placed 5 metres high on the moon's surface. Assuming that the gravitational field strength on the moon is only half that of the earth, how does the gravitational potential energy of the object change on the moon?
- A.
  
  It has doubled.
- B.
  
  It has tripled.
- C.
  
  There is no gravity in the whole of space, everything just floats around randomely.
- D.
  
  It is halved
- E.
  
  There is no change
9.

Your science teacher slides a book across the work bench or table. The book eventually stops after sliding. Is energy conserved in this situation?
- A.
  
  All of the answers are true.
- B.
  
  None of the answers can be true.
- C.
  
  Yes. Energy is conserved. The Work done by the science teacher equals the change in energy of the book.
- D.
  
  No. Friction opposes the motion of the book and the energy is dissipated as heat to the surroundings.
- E.
  
  There is no such thing as conservation of energy.
10.

- A.
  
  20 Joules
- B.
  
  10 Joules.
- C.
  
  No work is done.
- D.
  
  Same amount in all directions.
- E.
  
  300 Joules.
