degrees F e) 126.95 degrees F
Correct Answer: a) 101.3 degrees F
Rationale: The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is: F = (C × 9/5) + 32.
Applying this, (38.5 × 9/5) + 32 = 101.3°F.
2. An example of kinetic energy is _____. a) a coiled spring b) chemical energy c)
natural gas d) running water e) a tree
Correct Answer: d) running water
Rationale: Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Running water is in motion, thus
demonstrating kinetic energy.
3. The energy associated with the motion of particles in a substance is called _____. a)
electrical energy b) potential energy c) chemical energy d) heat e) temperature
Correct Answer: d) heat
Rationale: Heat is the energy transfer due to the movement of particles in a
substance.
4. Which of the following is an example of potential energy? a) a fan blade turning b)
