As it rises, its kinetic energy decreases and its gravitational potential energy increases. - ANSWER true 12.If you wanted to make the kinetic energy of a thrown ball larger, which TWO of the following changes would make the kinetic energy of the ball FOUR times bigger? - ANSWER Make the mass of the ball four times bigger, and Double the speed of the ball 13.Which of the following forces is NOT an example of a conservative force? A) Gravity B) Electric C) Magnetic D) Friction - ANSWER *D) Friction* examples of conservation force Gravity, Electric, Magnetic, Elasticity 14.True or False: To increase the gravitational potential energy of an object, I could increase its mass. - ANSWER True increases the gravitational potential: Increase the height of the object above the reference frame Increase the mass of the object 15.True or False: Object A has a velocity of 4.0 m/s, and Object B has a velocity of 2.0 m/s. Object A must have the larger kinetic energy. - ANSWER False 16.Which of the following statements is the best description of energy? A. Energy is the ability of an object to do work. B. Energy is the ability of an object to produce change in the environment or change in the object itself. C. Both A and B D. Energy is the rate of doing work. - ANSWER C. Both A and B y is the ability to do work, or the ability to produce change in the environment or the object itself 18.Which of the following is NOT true according to the Law of Conservation of Energy? A) Energy cannot be destroyed. B) Energy cannot be created. C) Energy cannot change forms. D) Energy can be converted from one form to another. - ANSWER C) Energy cannot change forms. 19.Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another 20.During a workout, an athlete pulls a pile bricks horizontally with a force of 426.0 N across the floor that is 25.0 m long. Answer the following questions about this scenario: a. Calculate the amount of work done on the pile of bricks by the athlete. b. What equation can be used to calculate the work done by the athlete on the pile of bricks? c. If the athlete completes another rep but this time applies the same 426.0 N force an angle of 25.0∘above horizontal, how much work does she do now? d. Calculate how much work gravity does on the pile of bricks if the mass of the bricks is 105 kg. e. If the athlete moves the bricks at a constant speed during all of the reps, what is the net work done on the bricks during any of these trials? - ANSWER A) W = FΔdcosΘ = (426.0 N)(25.0 m)cos(0∘) = 10,700 J B) 2 C) W = FΔdcosΘ = (426.0 N)(25.0 m)cos(25.0∘) = 9650 J D) 0 since the force is perpendicular to the displacement E) 3 since the kinetic energy does not change
