Q

How do you know that a falling domino that causes another domino to move has energy?

A

Energy is the ability to do work or make a change. The falling domino caused a change in the domino it hit.

Q

How do electric currents flow in circuits?

A

The battery provides energy that causes the electric current to flow. The wire provides a path for the current.

17
Q

True or false: Vibration causes sound energy.

A

True - sound is energy in the particles that vibrate as they pass through matter.

18
Q

True or false: a collision between two cars traveling at a slow speed (fender bender in a parking lot) will have more damage than a collision between two cars traveling at a high speed.

A

False- Cars traveling at a fast speed will have more energy. At the point of collision, the energy is transferred causing a lot of damage.
