To explain the transfer of kinetic energy using a hockey puck, the following responses apply:
- **Kinetic energy can move from one item to another.** (This is the most direct explanation of how kinetic energy transfers as the puck moves and can hit another object.)
The other options have some inaccuracies in the context of kinetic energy transfer. Specifically:
- **Kinetic energy is lost when it transfers between materials.** (While some energy can be lost as heat or sound, the statement does not properly explain the concept of energy transfer itself.)
- **Energy transfers from materials through touch.** (This statement is vague and may refer to contact forces but doesn't specifically explain the kinetic energy transfer.)
- **Kinetic energy transfers through air when materials are close.** (Kinetic energy doesn't transfer through air in the conventional sense; it needs a medium of contact for energy transfer to occur. Kinetic energy typically involves direct contact rather than transfer through the air.)
Therefore, the only correct selection is the statement about kinetic energy moving from one item to another.
