When you drop a book on the floor, what happens to its original potential energy?
What is the potential energy was transformed to kinetic
300
A device that transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What is a generator

Explain the transformation of energy that occurs in a Wind blows on a Windmill. 

Mechanical energy from the wind turns into Electrical Energy.

400
A basketball is dropped from a height of 2m and another identical basketball is dropped from a height of 4m. Which ball has more kinetic energy just before it hits the ground?
What is The basketball dropped from a height of 4m because it has more speed.
400

False

400
This is a type of energy that travels in waves and can travel through empty space.
What is light energy
500
Type of energy stored in bonds of molecules
What is Chemical Energy
500

Explain the transformation that takes place to make a toaster work using a wind turbine. Begin with the sun. (5 steps)

mechanical energy (of the wind) to mechanical energy (the blades to spinning) to electrical ( the turbine turns a generator and makes a flow of electrons) to thermal ( heat from the toaster) to radiant ( when the toaster get hot enough it will emit light)

500
When you drop a tennis ball, it hits the floor and bounces back up. But, it does not reach the same height as before and each time bounce is smaller than the previous one. However, you notice the tennis ball is slightly warmer after it finishes bouncing. Explain how the law of conservation of energy is obeyed.
What is During each bounce, some of the kinetic energy of the ball in transferred into thermal energy. As a result, energy is not created or destroyed, but only changes form so that the law of conservation of energy is obeyed.
