Question 5 (1 point)
A student is conducting an investigation using rubber bands. She places a rubber band around her thumb and index finger, pulls back, releases the rubber band, and records how far the band travels. She repeats this method while varying the distance in the pullback between her thumb and finger. What is the student most likely studying?
a
the transformation between potential and kinetic energy
b
the effect of gravity on unbalanced forces
c
the effect of mass on the speed of a falling object
d
the transformation between mechanical and chemical energy

The student is most likely studying:
**a** the transformation between potential and kinetic energy.
When the rubber band is pulled back, it stores potential energy, which is then converted into kinetic energy when the rubber band is released and travels forward.
