TRUE or FALSE:
When a firecracker explodes, it releases nuclear energy.
FALSE
__________ is the energy found in the bonds BETWEEN atoms.
Chemical energy
When a roller coaster is at the bottom of a hill, it has the LEAST amount of _________, and the GREATEST amount of ___________.
potential, kinetic
A roller coaster at the bottom of a hill will have the greatest amount of _________ energy.
kinetic
Which type of energy is a measure of the TOTAL amount of potential AND kinetic energy in a system?
Mechanical energy
Turning on a radio.

Sound energy.
If you roll four balls down a ramp, and they all roll down at the SAME speed, which one will have the MOST kinetic energy?
A- The lightest ball
B- The heaviest ball
B- The heaviest ball. Objects with MORE mass have MORE kinetic energy (if all the objects are moving at the same speed).
True or False: The Law of Conservation of Energy says that energy CAN be created and destroyed.
