Name Date Class Work, Energy and Simple Machines Practice Test I. Testing Concepts Directions: Determine whether the italicized term makes each of the following statements true or false. If the statement is true, write true in the blank. If the statement is false, write in the blank the term that makes the statement true. 1. A device that does work with only one movement and changes the size or direction of a force is a compound machine. 2. The greater mass a moving object has, the more kinetic energy it has. 3. A rock at the edge of a cliff has kinetic energy because of its position. 4. The output work of a machine compared to the input work is the efficiency of the machine. 5. Energy that is stored is kinetic energy. 6. Mass is measured in joules. 7. The amount by which a machine multiplies an effort force is called the work of the machine. 8. Chemical potential energy is energy stored in chemical bonds. 9. Thermal energy is energy stored by things that stretch or compress. 10.

Understanding Concepts Directions: Read the paragraph below. Use the information in the paragraph to answer questions 1 through 4. A carpenter lifts a 10-kg piece of wood to his shoulder 1.5 m above the ground. He then sets the wood on his truck at 1.0 m above the ground and makes his delivery going 10 m/s. 1. a. What is the wood’s potential energy on the carpenter’s shoulder? b. On the truck? 2. What is the wood’s kinetic energy during the delivery? 3. If the wood drops from the carpenter’s shoulder, what would its maximum kinetic energy be? (Hint: Use the law of conservation of energy.) 38 Work and Energy Skill: Comparing and Contrasting 4. Why is the kinetic energy of the lumber higher on the truck during the delivery than when it drops from the carpenter’s shoulder? III. Applying Concepts Writing Skills Directions: Answer the following questions in complete sentences on the lines provided. 1. What is required for work to be done? 2. Explain the role friction plays in the conservation of energy. 3. Most Earth satellites follow an oval path rather than a circular path around Earth. The potential energy of a satellite increases when the satellite moves farther from Earth. According to the law of conservation of energy, does a satellite travel at it’s greatest speed when it is closest to or farthest from Earth? Explain. 4. Why would adding oil to the moving parts of a machine increase its efficiency? IV. Testing Concepts Directions: In the blank, write the term that best completes each statement. 1. energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. 2.
