Question

select the correct answer from each drop - down menu. when a cat drops from a tree to the ground, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy takes place. then cat runs up behind a mouse to obtain its food. after eating its prey, the conversion of takes place inside the cats body. drop - down options: mechanical energy to electrical energy, electrical energy to gravitational potential energy, chemical energy to mechanical energy

Explanation:

1. When the cat drops from the tree, gravitational potential energy (due to height) converts to kinetic energy (due to motion), which is mechanical energy (kinetic is a type of mechanical energy). But the second part: when the cat eats the mouse, the mouse's chemical energy (stored in food) is converted by the cat's body to mechanical energy (for movement, etc.). So the second conversion is chemical energy to mechanical energy.

Answer:

chemical energy to mechanical energy
