Is work measured in the same units as energy?
Yes, work is also measured in joules. Providing work provides energy to a system.

A person jumps on a trampoline and is sprung 3m into the air. On the person's return trip, at some point of time is at 2m above the surface of the trampoline. Look at this point of time and tell me initial and final energies are being looked at. Answer in the form of: The initial energy/energies are.... and the final energy/energies are...
The initial energy is potential elastic here, and the final energies are potential gravitational and kinetic energies

How much energy does a 100W light bulb use in a minute

6,000J

There's a force of 500N that is constantly exerted upward on a crate of books that was carried 10 meters to the left. How much work is done?
0 because Force and displacement are perpendicular in this situation

An 800kg car gets slowed down from 30 m/s to 10 m/s. How much work was done to the car?
800*(30m/s - 10 m/s) = 800*20 m/s = 16,000 J

True or false, springs are the only objects allowed to possess potential elastic energy.
False

List at least 2 examples of what happens when energy is not perfectly conserved in a system.
An object doesn't return to its initial height, an object slows down over time; an object doesn't compress or stretch to the same amount over time... etc.

A horse does 50,000J of work in 20 seconds while a small go kart does 1,000J of work in 1 second. Which one has exerted more power?
The horse, horse's power = 2,500W here, go kart's = 1,000W

Explain if work is a scalar or vector quantity and why

Scalar quantity because the cosine from the dot product tells us the relationship between force and displacement in a scenario. It can't tell us what direction that force and displacement are moving in time though.

After a hockey player hits a 0.5kg puck to the right. It is traveling at 15 m/s on ice that has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.1. It comes to a stop 20m away. If left is positive, using what you know about kinetic energy, tell me what sign work is.

Negative because force opposes displacement here since the force here is friction.

Explain the difference between the h in potential gravitational, the x in potential elastic, and the d in work.
h is for height of an object, x is the amount of stretch or compression of an object, and d is the displacement of an object by a force
