(1 point)
Responses
a funnel because it can capture energy if the energy level is greater than the opening in the bottom
a funnel because it can capture energy if the energy level is greater than the opening in the bottom
a bottle because its opening is small, so only low levels of energy can get in and fill it
a bottle because its opening is small, so only low levels of energy can get in and fill it
a bucket because it can be continuously filled with energy, regardless of the energy's level
a bucket because it can be continuously filled with energy, regardless of the energy's level
a teapot because it can be filled with energy and, when overfilled, low energy levels leave from the spout
