To explain the transfer of kinetic energy using a hockey puck, the following statements can be selected:
a. Kinetic energy can move from one item to another.
b. Energy transfers from materials through touch.
d. Kinetic energy is lost when it transfers between materials.
**Explanation:**
- **a** is correct because a hockey puck can transfer kinetic energy to another puck or object when it collides with them.
- **b** is correct because the transfer of kinetic energy typically occurs during direct contact and collision between objects.
- **c** is not necessarily correct. While kinetic energy can cause air movement (like a puck moving and creating air disturbance), the transfer of kinetic energy typically occurs during direct interactions rather than through air when materials are simply close together.
- **d** is correct in contexts such as when energy is transferred, some energy can be lost due to factors like friction or deformation, which often happens when the puck hits a surface or another object.
Therefore, the selected correct answers are a, b, and d.
