Conceptual Physics Test 1 Questions and Answers All Correct What is energy? - Answer-the ability to do work What happens to energy in an explosion? - Answer-stored energy is released and converted into heat in a small space, heat vaporizes matter turning into hot gas. What happens when the conversion of heat in an explosion is faster? - AnswerExplosion becomes more dangerous. (a fast conversion of energy to heat causes an explosion) Any form of energy can be converted into what? - Answe...
