A student is trying to identify the different forms of energy described in the following chart:

Form of Energy
Description
Examples
Energy A
energy that travels in waves through space
light
radio waves
Energy B
energy that depends on the height of an object
a person at the top of a mountain
a book lifted above ground
Energy C
vibration or disturbance of matter through waves
vibrations from vocal chords
vibrations from stereo speakers
Energy D
potential and kinetic energy are the basic types
describes how much work an object can do
a speeding car
a pebble sitting at the top of a mountain

A. energy A: gravitational energy
energy B: chemical energy

B. energy A: nuclear energy
energy B: electrical energy

C. energy A: electromagnetic energy
energy B: sound energy

D. energy A: mechanical energy
energy B: thermal energy

my answer is A can you please check

The Answer is D

Energy A: mechanical energy
Energy B: Thermal Energy

Just took the test.

I'm not sure what you are trying to answer. Are you figuring out what type of energy Energy A and Energy B are?

yes niki can you please help me

Energy A would not be gravitational energy.. it would be electromagnetic

Energy B would not be chemical...it would be gravitational potential

but I don't see that as an answer choice,hmm

energy A radio waves travel through space and light and i think that is electromagnetic property

Potential energy that depends on height is called gravitational potential energy

Energy C is sound

Energy D is mechanical

Thank you so much niki , and everyone

The answer to this question is D,

Energy A is mechanical energy.
Energy B is thermal energy.

i’ll pass yoda

What is wrong with you?
