Energy changes in a system, and the ways energy is stored before and after such changes
Question
- A. Energy is lost from the thermal store
- B. Energy is transferred from the kinetic store to the thermal store
- C. Energy is gained in the gravitational store
- D. Energy is redistributed among all stores equally
Answer
Energy is transferred from the kinetic store to the thermal store
Explanation
When a material is heated, energy is transferred to its thermal energy store, often from kinetic energy if work is done on it.
Common mistake
Confusing Energy Stores
Students often confuse the decrease of one energy store with the increase in another without understanding the relationship between them.
To fix this, clearly link the concepts by explaining how energy is conserved and transferred between stores, ensuring to illustrate specific examples of energy transformations.
