A teacher told students this story.“A group of children was playing catch in a house.  One child throws a ball.  Another child jump to catch ball.  The child missed and the ball hits the TV. Someone in another room heard a cracking sound when the ball hit the TV.” A student claims, “This is what we are learning about in class!  This is an example of energy transfer.”

What evidence supports the student's claim?

Pick two.

• The child throwing the ball. The ball is not moving (potential) then begins to move (kinetic).

• The ball making contact with the tv. The energy of the ball is being transfer to the stationary TV.

• There was not any evidence of energy transfer.

• The child just holds the ball.
