7. How does the law of conservation of energy account for the slowing down of moving objects? A. The kinetic energy of the object is increased as it moves. C. Energy is slowly transferred to the ground as friction. B. The object slowly loses its mass, which also reduces energy. D. Amount of energy is destroyed as the object moves. 8. How is the law of conservation of energy applied in an elastic collision? A. Kinetic energy is always C. Half of the kinetic energy is always conserved. completely conserved. B. Potential energy is always D. Kinetic energy is completely lost. completely conserved. 9. Which of the following ways will help in increasing the potential energy of the object? A. Push the object harder. C. Make sure the object will easily slow down. B. Increase the height of the object D. Add wheels to the object so it moves faster. from the ground. 10. Which of the following shows how energy is transformed between potential and kinetic energy? A. potential energy potential kinetic energy → energy kinetic energy C. kinetic energy kinetic energy D. kinetic energy B. potential energy → kinetic energy potential energy → potential energy → kinetic energy
