Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Energy: Forms, Transformation, Transfer, and Conservation ~ Misconception EGM052

The motion energy of an object depends on the direction the object is traveling (AAAS Project 2061, n.d.).

Items that test for misconception EGM052 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea ()
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
EG092002	The motion energy of an object depends on the speed of the object but not the direction the object is moving.	50%
EG081006	Two objects that are moving at the same speed must have different masses in order to have different amounts of motion energy.	12%
EG081005	Two objects that are moving at the same speed must have different masses in order to have different amounts of motion energy.	11%
EG008004	A ball has motion energy only when it is moving.	10%
