Question

Match the scenario to the energy that results

1.) a tour bus driver slams on the brakes, causing the tires to leave marks on the asphalt
2.) a tour bus reaches a rest area at the top of the mountain and stops
3.) a tour bus is traveling up a steep hill in the mountains

a - thermal energy
b - kinetic energy
c - potential energy

Answer 1

1 = A

2 = C

3 = B

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermal Energy = It is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other. The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.

Kinetic Energy = It is a form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion. If work, which transfers energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy.

Potential Energy = It is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.

Answer 2

1 = A

2 = C

3 = B

Step-by-step explanation:

1 = A because there is a lot of friction that is why the tires burn on the road

2 = C because it is like putting a ball on a hill it is just waiting to fall

3 = B because the potential energy is turned into kinetic energy
