match the descriptions of the forms of energy present in each scenario

1. a skier at the top of a mountain

a. kinetic
b. gravitational
c. elastic
d. thermal
e. chemical
f. electromagnetic
g. electric

1. a racecar traveling at its maximum speed
2. a spring in a pinball machine
3. burning a match
4. rocks at the top of a cliff
5. batteries
6. light from the sun
7. energy in food
8. the energy that runs a refrigerator
9. running on a track
10. a campfire
11. a bird flying horizontally
12. a satellite orbiting earth

identify the types of energy being shown in each picture below

Explanation:

1. A skier at the top of a mountain has potential energy due to height, which is gravitational energy.
2. A race - car traveling at its maximum speed has energy of motion, which is kinetic energy.
3. A spring in a pinball machine has stored elastic potential energy.
4. Burning a match releases chemical energy in the form of heat and light.
5. Rocks at the top of a cliff have gravitational potential energy due to their height.
6. Batteries store chemical energy that can be converted to other forms.
7. Light from the sun is electromagnetic energy.
8. Energy in food is chemical energy.
9. The energy that runs a refrigerator is electric energy.
10. Running on a track involves kinetic energy.
11. A campfire releases chemical energy as heat and light.
12. A bird flying horizontally has kinetic energy.
13. A satellite orbiting Earth has kinetic energy (due to motion) and gravitational potential energy (due to its position relative to Earth). For the pictures: The jack - in - the - box spring has elastic energy, the burger has chemical energy, the light - bulb uses electric energy to produce electromagnetic (light) and thermal energy, and the phone battery has chemical energy.
