Question

which situation shows energy causing change? waiting in line sitting on a bench riding a rollercoaster reading a sign

Explanation:

To determine which situation shows energy causing change, we analyze each option:

• "Waiting in line" and "sitting on a bench" involve no significant energy - driven change as there is little to no movement or transformation.
• "Reading a sign" is a cognitive activity with no physical change driven by energy in the sense of motion or transformation.
• "Riding a rollercoaster" involves the use of mechanical energy (from the rollercoaster's machinery) to move the rollercoaster, causing changes in position, speed, and height, which are all changes driven by energy.

Answer:

C. riding a rollercoaster (assuming the options are labeled A: waiting in line, B: sitting on a bench, C: riding a rollercoaster, D: reading a sign)
