Consider the passage given below and answer the following question: The Power of Energy Energy is all around us and comes in many forms. One common form is heat energy, which is produced when things move or rub together. For example, when you rub your hands together quickly, they get warm. This is heat energy. Heat is also used in things like stoves and heaters to keep us warm. Another important form of energy is light energy. Light allows us to see everything around us. The Sun is the biggest source of light, but we can also get light from things like light bulbs or fire. When we turn on a light, we use electricity to make light that helps us see. Energy can change from one form to another. For example, when you use a flashlight, the chemical energy in the battery changes into electrical energy, and then into light energy. In a car, burning gasoline changes chemical energy into mechanical energy to move the wheels. Energy is used for movement, too. Wind energy is changed into electrical energy by wind turbines. At home, heat energy from a stove can be used to cook food. No matter where we look, energy is always changing and helping us in many ways. What happens to energy when it is used to power a bicycle?

1. It is lost as heat
2. It is converted into mechanical energy
3. It becomes chemical energy
4. It turns into light energy

Answer: (b) It is converted into mechanical energy

Consider the passage given below and answer the following question: The Journey of Energy: From Potential to Kinetic Energy is all around us and takes many forms. One type is potential energy, which is stored energy. Imagine a ball sitting on a high shelf. The higher the shelf, the more potential energy the ball has because it can fall and move. When you push the ball, its potential energy changes into kinetic energy, or energy of motion. The faster the ball moves, the more kinetic energy it has. This is like a roller coaster. Before it starts going down, it has a lot of potential energy. As it moves, it turns into kinetic energy. We also use energy in our daily lives. For example, a battery stores electrical energy. When you turn on a light, the electrical energy changes into light and heat. A fan uses electrical energy to spin its blades and create a breeze. Energy is always changing and moving, helping power the world around us. Which of the following best describes potential energy?

1. Energy in motion
2. Energy stored and ready to move
3. The energy that produces light
4. Energy that powers machines

Answer: (b) Energy stored and ready to move

Energy is always changing and moving, helping power the world around us. Based on the passage, how would you explain the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy?

1. Potential energy becomes kinetic energy only when an object stops moving.
2. The amount of potential energy stays the same as an object moves.
3. Potential energy transforms into kinetic energy as an object moves, depending on its speed.
4. Kinetic energy is the energy stored in an object before it starts moving.

Answer: (c) Potential energy transforms into kinetic energy as an object moves, depending on its speed.
