Students are investigating energy transfer in the laboratory. The students use rubber bands and rulers for their investigation. They attach a rubber band to each ruler, pull the band back, and allow the band to launch from the ruler. The diagram shows their set up.

Ruler Distance Band Is Pulled Back
(centimeters) Distance Band Travels (centimeters)
1 5 61
2 10 122
3 15 213
4 20 366

Which statement best describes the results of their investigation?
A.
The more potential energy the band has, the more kinetic energy is transferred, and the farther the band travels.

B.
The less potential energy the band has, the more kinetic energy is transferred, and the farther the band travels.

C.
The more kinetic energy the band has, the more potential energy is transferred, and the farther the band travels.

D.
The less kinetic energy the band has, the more potential energy is transferred, and the farther the band trave

The correct answer is C. Objects that produce light energy often produce heat energy.
The diagram below shows two flasks of water, one with hot water and the other with room temperature water, which are connected by a conductive metal bar.

Multiple Choice Question
The diagram below shows two flasks of water, one with hot water and the other with room temperature water, which are connected by a conductive metal bar.

When initially set up, in which direction does the thermal energy between the flasks flow?
A.
Thermal energy flows from the flask on the left to the flask on the right.

B.
Thermal energy flows from the flask on the right to the flask on the left.

C.
Thermal energy does not flow between the two flasks.

D.
Thermal energy flows equally between the two flasks.
The correct answer is A. Thermal energy flows from the flask on the left to the flask on the right.
