Question

Question 2 options:

electrical and sound

nuclear and electrical

kinetic

potential

Answer 1

When sitting down, the form of energy primarily involved is potential energy. As you lower your body, you are converting kinetic energy (the energy of motion) into potential energy (the energy stored due to position). Once you are seated, you have potential energy relative to the ground. So, the best answer from the options provided is potential.
