Match the scenario to the type of energy being described.(6 points)
An apple being eaten
A lamp turned on
A person's hands getting warm when they rub them together
Riding a bike
Electrons moving through a wire

Answer 1

- An apple being eaten — Chemical energy (stored in the apple’s bonds is released by digestion)
- A lamp turned on — Light energy (electrical energy is converted into light; also produces heat)
- A person's hands getting warm when they rub them together — Thermal energy (heat from friction)
- Riding a bike — Mechanical energy (kinetic energy of motion)
- Electrons moving through a wire — Electrical energy (electric current)
