Question

question:
what type of energy does a cheetah have when its running along the ground, chasing its prey?

answer options:
select one of four
potential mechanical energy light energy

electrical energy kinetic mechanical energy

Explanation:

To determine the energy type, we analyze the cheetah's state: running (motion). Kinetic energy is energy of motion, while potential is stored. Light and electrical don’t apply here. So the cheetah has kinetic mechanical energy as it’s in motion.

Answer:

D. Kinetic mechanical energy
