Answered by GPT-4o mini
A) The object that has kinetic energy is the **soccer ball flying through goalposts**. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and the soccer ball is in motion as it travels through the air.

For the second part:

B) Teresa could use innovative problem-solving by **finding an example of kinetic and potential energy in her own life and creating an experiment to illustrate their relationship**. This approach encourages creativity and personal relevance, allowing her to better understand the concepts of kinetic and potential energy.
