Question

drag and drop the words or phrases that
accurately complete the paragraph.
natalie wants to show her friend seth how
potential energy can transform into kinetic energy.
she loves to play golf, so she decides to use her
golf ball and golf club to demonstrate the energy
transformation. she places her golf ball on the tee
and tells seth how the ball now has
energy. furthermore, she tells seth that potential
energy is
energy. natalie then gets
ready and swings. she hits the ball with her golf
club and it flies up in the air. she explains to seth
that since the golf ball is in motion, it now has
energy. lastly, she tells seth that
energy was
from potential to kinetic
energy.
chemical transformed kinetic
transferred stored movement
motion potential

Explanation:

• First blank: A ball on a tee is stationary and has potential energy (stored due to position).
• Second blank: Potential energy is defined as stored energy.
• Third blank: A moving ball has kinetic energy (energy of motion).
• Fourth blank: The process of potential energy becoming kinetic energy is called transformation.

Answer:

1. potential
2. stored
3. kinetic
4. transformed
