Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.132 Energy Resources skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student says a generator creates energy when it makes electricity. Which correction best applies conservation of energy?

AA generator destroys mechanical energy so electricity can appear.

BA generator creates energy from nothing when demand is high.

CA generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, with some energy dissipated as heat or sound.

DA generator works only if matter stops being conserved.

Solution & Explanation:Generators transform energy from one form to another. Energy is conserved, although not all input energy becomes useful electrical output.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which student statement best shows evaluation of trade-offs rather than simple recall?

AGas plants and solar farms are both things people build.

BSolar lowers operating emissions, but compare land use, storage, cost, and reliability.

CSolar is a word with five letters.

DElectricity travels through wires after it is generated.

Solution & Explanation:Evaluating trade-offs means using criteria and constraints to compare benefits and limits, not merely naming resources.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A proposal says the nation should replace all fossil fuels with one renewable resource. What is the biggest evaluation flaw?

AIt ignores geographic variability, reliability needs, storage, transmission, cost, and local environmental trade-offs.

BIt considers too many criteria for an energy decision.

CIt recognizes that all energy resources have the same local availability.

DIt explains why one resource can solve every constraint everywhere.

Solution & Explanation:A single-resource plan is usually too simple. Strong evaluations compare local resources, grid needs, costs, impacts, and constraints.
