Answer 1

When a tennis racket hits a ball, kinetic energy is primarily transferred from the racket to the ball. Therefore, the correct response is:

**Kinetic energy is transferred from the racket to the ball.**

The racket, having kinetic energy from the player's swing, transfers that energy to the ball upon contact, causing the ball to accelerate.
