collision, the smaller car experiences more
damage. Which of the following is a reasonable
explanation for that fact? A The larger car has
more potential energy than the smaller car
does. B Mass has a greater effect on kinetic
energy than speed does. C The larger car
experiences more friction than the smaller car
does. D The larger car has more kinetic energy
than the smaller car does.

9. Tyrone went camping at Fort Mountain State
Park in Chatsworth, Georgia. He got up early one
morning to bike the trails in the park. After a
big breakfast, Tyrone headed out on his bicycle
ride. His bikes headlight was powered by his
pedaling. Describe two ways in which energy was
converted from one form into another.

9. Answer - Full-credit answers should include
two energy conversions that would take place
during the operation of the bicycle. Answers may
include The chemical energy in Tyrones
breakfast was converted into kinetic energy as he
pedaled the bike. The kinetic energy of the
turning pedals was converted into thermal energy
as a result of friction with the chain. The
kinetic energy of the turning wheels was
converted into light energy as the headlight
turned on.

10. Meredith fills a teapot with water and puts
it on the stove. She turns the gas burner on and
waits for the water to boil. When the water is
boiling, Meredith pours it into a cup with a
teabag in it. She drinks the tea after it has
cooled slightly. Describe three transfers of
thermal energy in this example.
21Chapter 9
CRCT Preparation
10. Answers may include Thermal energy that
is converted from chemical energy in the gas is
transferred to the teapot. The thermal energy
in the teapot is transferred to the water
particles in the teapot. Some of the thermal
energy is transferred to the air surrounding the
teapot and the cup. Some of the thermal energy
in the tea is transferred to Meredith as she
drinks the tea.
