Answer 1

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