The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destoyed, however, it can be transferred from one form into another.
True
False
All objects that are at the same height above sea level will have the same gravitaional potential energy.
True
False
All moving objects have some kinetic energy. The amount of kinetic energy that the object has only depends on its mass and its speed.
True
False
A battery has stored electrical energy.
True
False
Joules and calories are both units of energy.
True
False

If a light bulb has a power rating of 100W, that means that:
A 100J of light and heat are given out by the lamp
B 100J of electrical energy is tranferred to heat and light
C 100J of electrical energy is transferred to light and heat every second
D 100 J of light energy is given out by the bulb each second

Ignoring air resistance, if a 1 kg mass and a 5 kg mass are dropped from the same height, both masses will hit the floor ar the same speed.
True
False
Ignoring air resistance, if a 1 kg mass and a 5 kg mass are dropped from the same height, both masses will have the same kinetic energy as they hit the floor.
True
False
Ignoring air resistance, if a 1 kg mass and a 5 kg mass are dropped from the same height, both masses will hit the floor at the same time.
