Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.63 Read Energy Bar and Pie Charts skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A skateboarder is pushed, rolls on flat ground, and then stops because of friction. Which three-chart sequence best matches the process?

AKinetic increases when pushed, stays for a while while thermal slowly grows, then kinetic reaches zero and thermal is largest.

BGravitational potential grows, then elastic grows, then chemical grows.

CThermal is largest before the push, then gravitational potential is largest, then sound disappears.

DKinetic stays zero the whole time because the skateboarder is on flat ground.

Solution & Explanation:The push adds motion energy, friction gradually transfers some of it to thermal energy, and thermal energy is largest once the skateboarder stops.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A student makes a chart for a loud collision but leaves out sound energy. The total then appears smaller after the collision. What is the best critique?

AThe chart is fine because sound is never energy.

BThe chart proves that collisions destroy energy.

CThe chart may be incomplete because sound is one way energy can be transferred away during a collision.

DThe chart should replace sound with gravitational potential energy.

Solution & Explanation:If an important transfer category is omitted, the chart can make it look like energy disappeared when it was really transferred away.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

After several bounces, a ball comes fully to rest on the floor. Which final chart is most reasonable?

AMostly thermal energy with no kinetic energy and perhaps a small sound share already transferred

BMostly kinetic energy because the ball had been moving earlier

CMostly gravitational potential energy because the ball is still above Earth

DMostly elastic energy because the ball once changed shape

Solution & Explanation:By the time the ball is fully at rest, its motion energy has been transferred away, mainly into thermal energy.
