Question

this skateboarder is flying through the air after a jump. which would best describe the type of energy used by the skateboarder while jumping?
electromagnetic energy
nuclear energy
mechanical energy

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. When the skateboarder jumps, they use mechanical energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion (the movement during the jump), and potential energy (related to height) also plays a role. Electromagnetic energy is related to light, radio waves etc. Nuclear energy is from nuclear reactions.

Answer:

Mechanical energy
