What energy transfers take place when you lift a ball into the air and then drop it so it falls to the ground?
Kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
6 of 9
Wear and tear causes a particular machine to waste more energy. What happens to the efficiency of this machine?
Its efficiency decreases
7 of 9
Why is an electric heater the only appliance that may have an efficiency of 1, or 100%?
Because it it designed to transfer energy by heating, which is normally how appliances waste energy
8 of 9
Why do electrical appliances such as televisions and computers have vents?
So wasted energy can be transferred easily to the surroundings making them warmer
