Questions in this quiz (13)
1Which of these are forms of energy waiting to be turned into one of the other forms? (Tick all that apply)
- AThermal
- BChemical potential
- CGravitational potential
- DKinetic
- EElectrical
- FLight
- GElastic potential

- ISound
2What is the principle of the conservation of energy?
- AEnergy can never be created or destroyed; it can only be converted from one form to another.
- BEnergy can be created or destroyed; it can also be converted from one form to another.
3Describe the energy transfer in this picture.

- Akinetic ---> electrical
- Belectrical ---> sound ---> light
- Cgravitational potential ---> kinetic ---> electrical
- Dgravitational potential ---> electrical ---> sound

6Tick all of the true statements.
- AA device which transfers one form of energy into another is called a transducer.
- BEnergy is normally wasted as heat and sound.
- CWasted energy dissipates into the surroundings.
- DDissipated energy cannot be re-used.
7Which type of heat energy transfer only takes place in fluids and involves warmer, less dense regions of fluid moving upwards and being replaced by colder, sinking fluids?
