How does the Space Shuttle take off?
A) Its rocket engines push against the launch pad propelling the shuttle upwards.
B) It converts mass-energy to kinetic energy.
C) It achieves lift from its wings in the same way that airplanes do.
D) Hot gas shoots out from the rocket and, by conservation of momentum, the shuttle
moves in the opposite direction.

Radiative energy is
A) heat energy.
B) energy from nuclear power plants.
C) energy carried by light.
D) energy used to power home radiators.
E) energy of motion. - ANSWER-Answer: C
When a rock is held above the ground, we say it has some potential energy. When we
let it go, it falls and we say the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Finally,
the rock hits the ground. What has happened to the energy?
A) The energy goes into the ground and, as a result, the orbit of the earth about the Sun
is slightly changed.
B) The energy goes to producing sound and to heating the ground, rock, and
surrounding air.
C) The rock keeps the energy inside it (saving it for later use).
