A solar panel receives light energy from the Sun. What type of energy does it produce?
Electrical energy
A light bulb produces light but also becomes hot. Which is the useful energy output and which is the wasted energy output?
Useful = light; wasted = thermal
RATMHLE

A ball rolls down a hill. Which energy store decreases and which increases?
Gravitational potential decreases; kinetic increases
A moving car brakes and stops. What happens to its kinetic energy?
Mostly transferred to thermal energy
This form of energy is caused by object's vibrations that transmits energy through the air around it.
sound energy
A battery-powered toy car moves and makes sound. Name three types of energy involved.
Chemical → electrical → kinetic + sound (thermal also acceptable)
A television is switched on. Name three energy outputs it produces. .
Light, sound and thermal

transformation
A pot of water is being heated on a stove. Match each situation to conduction, convection or radiation:
A. Heat travels through the metal pot.
B. Hot water rises and cooler water sinks.
C. Heat can be felt from the hot stove without touching it
A = Conduction, B = Convection, C = Radiation
