Question

what type of energy does a cheetah have when its running along the ground, chasing its prey? answer options: select one of four electrical energy kinetic mechanical energy potential mechanical energy light energy

Explanation:

To determine the energy type, we analyze each option:

• Electrical energy: Involves electric charges, not related to a running cheetah.
• Kinetic mechanical energy: Energy of motion. A running cheetah is in motion, so this fits.
• Potential mechanical energy: Energy due to position/condition (e.g., height), not motion.
• Light energy: Involves electromagnetic radiation, not related to a running cheetah.

Answer:

B. Kinetic mechanical energy
