Predicting Changes in Kinetic Energy Quick Check
Science 8 Q1 / Energy of Motion
You are told 3 things...1. That there are two objects with equal masses. 2. Both objects are in motion. 3. One object has a greater kinetic energy than the other. How is this possible? (1 point)
Responses
One object has a greater speed than the other object.
One object has a greater density then the other object.
One object is blue and one object is red.
One object has a greater volume than the other object.
A large truck and a small car are moving at the same speed, traveling up and down hills, and over bumpy roads. Which one has more kinetic energy?(1 point)
Responses
The car has more kinetic energy because it moves fast down hills.
The truck has more kinetic energy because it has a greater mass.
The truck has less kinetic energy because it has greater mass.
The car and truck have the same kinetic energy.
Which object has the greatest kinetic energy?(1 point)
Responses
a red car mass of 500 kg moving at 3 m/s
a blue car with a mass of 500 kg moving at 30 m/s
a green car with a mass of 500kg moving at 21 m/s
a yellow car with a mass of 500 kg moving at 12 m/s
A wildlife keeper is trying to catch an escaping rabbit. Who has the greater kinetic energy, the rabbit or the wildlife keeper?
(1 point)
Responses
The wildlife keeper because they have a greater mass.
The rabbit because it has less mass.
The wildlife keeper because they speed up and catch the rabbit.
Neither one because they are moving at the same speed.
A skydiver jumps out of a plane and begins to accelerate. His speed increases to 20 m/s, then 30 m/s. His acceleration slows until he reaches a constant speed of 50 m/s. Which statement correctly describes his kinetic energy during this time?(1 point)
Responses
His kinetic energy would remain the same for the whole fall as long as he lost no mass.
His kinetic energy was positive at first, but it decreased to zero when he stopped accelerating.
His kinetic energy increased quickly at first, then it increased at a constant rate.
His kinetic energy increased while his speed increases, then it became constant.
