Wow, I bombed..! Like 55%..!

Most of it though was wording...

Like the second question...It said "Force is a form of energy." Well, I picked true...The answer was false, but it goes on to say, "Energy is so basic that it has no simple definition"...LoL...WTF! It went on to say that force is could be a simple push or pull, but something doing the pushing and the pulling is using a form of energy to do so...

And number 6...

If there were no energy losses due to friction or unwanted heat transfer, an internal combustion engine could be built for an automobile which would be capable of converting 100% of the combustion energy in gasoline into energy used for moving the car.

First of all, there is no 100% efficient machine on earth...Even electric transformers have some kind of loss...That said, we must be talking hypothetically, right..? Wrong...lol...The explanation answer for this was hilarious..!

Cool, cool quiz h2...
