Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Energy: Forms, Transformation, Transfer, and Conservation ~ Misconception NGM034

When one object pushes or pulls on another object, a force, not energy, is transferred (AAAS Project 2061, n.d.).

Items that test for misconception NGM034 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea (When objects collide, contact force…)
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen	Select This Item for My Item Bank
NG050004	Motion energy, not a force, is transferred when one marble hits another one.	70%
NG051002	When a rubber band is used to shoot a toy car across the floor, the rubber band has less energy because energy was transferred to the car.	16%
