answer bank
light \t running \t a book on a high shelf \t heat
stretched rubber band \t chemical

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions:

• Kinetic Energy (KE): Energy of motion (objects/processes in motion).
• Potential Energy (PE): Stored energy (due to position, shape, or chemical state).

Kinetic Energy Items:

• Light: Photons are in motion (electromagnetic radiation, moving energy).
• Running: Person is in motion (mechanical KE).
• Heat: Transfer of thermal energy (molecular motion, so KE of molecules).

Potential Energy Items:

• A book on a high shelf: Gravitational PE (stored due to height).
• Stretched rubber band: Elastic PE (stored due to shape deformation).
• Chemical: Chemical PE (stored in molecular bonds).

Answer:

Kinetic Energy:

• light
• running
• heat

Potential Energy:

• a book on a high shelf
• stretched rubber band
• chemical
