The force of the ball hitting the bat will most likely cause the baseball to change direction. When the batter hits the ball, there is a force applied, and energy is transferred. The ball will move in the direction the force is pushing it. If two objects collide, energy will be transferred between both, and there will be a change in motion. Objects can change speed, direction, or come to a complete stop because of a transfer of energy during a collision.

The statement in the question is false. The ball is transferring energy to the pins when they make contact, not vice versa. The force is being applied to the pins and will cause them to move and change direction while the ball continues on its path.

A toaster is an example of how a device can convert electrical currents into heat energy. The toaster is plugged into the electrical outlet and electricity flows through the cord and into the heating elements of the toaster. The toaster than warms and crisps the food item placed inside. The heating coils warm the bread as a result of electrical currents being transferred.

Lightning is a powerful example of electricity in nature. During a thunderstorm, many small bits of ice bump into each other as they move around in the air in the clouds. These collisions create an electric charge. The cloud fills up with electrical charges. The positive charges or protons form at the top of the cloud, and the negative charges or electrons form at the bottom of the cloud. The ground beneath the cloud creates a positive charge. The charge coming up from points on the ground (like treetops or buildings) eventually connects with a charge reaching down from the clouds and lightning strikes.

Juan should use copper if he is looking for something that is a good conductor. A conductor is a material that transmits energy. Electrons can flow easily through a conductor. If he chooses the rubber, wood, or plastic, those items are insulators and would prevent the flow of energy because electrons cannot flow easily through an insulator. Electricity is the flow of electrons – tiny negatively charged particles in atoms, so their flow mustn't be hindered.

Energy can be moved from place to place by moving objects or through sound, light, or electric currents. Energy can also be transferred from site to site by electric currents; the currents may have been produced, to begin with by transforming the energy of motion into electrical energy. The statement presented is false because electrical currents can transfer energy.

All of thee examples except for one demonstrate electricity or electrical currents transferring energy in a simple household scenario. Lighting a candle when the power goes out to provide light does not use electricity or an electrical current, so it is the non-example. A candle does produce light and heat energy, but it is through a chemical reaction with the match lighting the wick. All of the other examples are creating a change using electricity.

Because electricity is the flow of electrons, or negatively charged particles in atoms, conductors are necessary when trying to transfer energy through electrical currents. Conductors allow electrons to flow easily, which in turn transmits energy. Someone would not want to block electrons from traveling whatsoever when trying to create an electrical current - materials that do this would be called insulators.

Insulators slow down the flow of electrons, which prevents the transfer of energy through electrical currents. For electrical currents to function correctly, the negatively charged particles must be able to flow easily. A conductor would assist in the transfer of energy through electrical currents, while insulators stop it from happening.
