A book is falling from the top shelf of a bookcase. Which statement correctly describes the change in the energy of the book?

T
The potential energy and kinetic energy remain the same.
T
The potential energy decreases as kinetic energy increases.
T
The kinetic energy decreases as potential energy increases.
T
The kinetic energy remains at zero, but potential energy increases.
15

How does an increase in reactant concentration affect the rate of reaction?

I
It leads to more frequent collisions, which increase reaction rate.
I
It leads to less frequent collisions, which increase reaction rate.
I
It leads to more frequent collisions, which decrease reaction rate.
I
It leads to less frequent collisions, which decrease reaction rate.

17

After a radioactive atom decays, it is the same element that it was before with no measurable change in mass. Which kind of decay has occurred, and how do you know?

a
alpha decay because alpha particles have no mass
b
beta decay because this kind of decay cannot change one element into another
a
alpha decay because it creates a new isotope of the same element
g
gamma decay because photons have no mass
