1. Lashonte was studying mechanical energy in science class. She noticed several possible examples of mechanical energy in her environment. Which of the following is NOT an example of mechanical energy?

a garden hose with moving water
music playing on your phone
a windmill moving in the wind
a lamp giving off light

a lamp giving off light

The correct answer is: a lamp giving off light. This is because mechanical energy refers to the energy possessed by an object due to its motion or position, while the light being emitted by a lamp is a form of electromagnetic energy and not mechanical energy.
