Question
adam is doing work by lifting a bowling ball. which statement could be made about the energy in this situation? energy is being transferred from his arm muscles to the ball. energy would be recorded in units of hertz and power. energy is being transferred from the ball to his arm muscles. energy would change from potential to chemical.
When Adam lifts a bowling - ball, he is doing work. Work is a form of energy transfer. In this case, energy is transferred from his arm muscles to the ball as he exerts a force to lift it against gravity. Energy is measured in joules, not hertz (hertz is a unit of frequency). Also, the energy transfer is from the muscles to the ball, not the other way around, and there is no chemical - to - potential energy conversion taking place in this context.
