Select the best argument and evidence to explain the phenomenon of the bottom of your shoe sole melting when you press on a metal scooter brake.
a) The hot tire melted your shoe because gravitational potential energy changed to elastic potential energy.
b) The brake got hot and melted your shoe because heat energy changed into kinetic energy through friction.

d) The brake got hot and melted your shoe because kinetic energy changed into heat energy through friction.

How does the distance in the system affect the amount of energy given to the rock in the sling shot?
a) Pulled back more → more potential energy in slingshot → more kinetic energy for the rock.
b) Pulled back more → more potential energy in the slingshot → less kinetic energy for the rock.
c) Pulled back less → more potential energy in the slingshot → more kinetic energy for the rock
d) Pulled back less → more potential energy in the slingshot → less kinetic energy for the rock.

c) More mass has less kinetic energy
d)

Two trucks coast down a hill toward a brick wall. One is empty and one is full of stone. Which would you expect to cause the most damage to the brick wall and why?
a) The empty truck because it is moving faster.
b) Both trucks will cause the same damage because they are the same size.
c) The full truck because it has less kinetic energy.
