• Electrical

Answer explanation

When striking a match, chemical energy is released due to the combustion of the match head, resulting in the production of heat and light.

Energy is defined as...

• the ability to play sports.

• the capacity to do work.

• the power to move objects.

• the strength to lift weights.

Answer explanation

Energy is defined as the capacity to do work, which involves the ability to exert force over a distance.

What is potential energy?

• The energy that is currently doing work.

• The sum of all potential and kinetic energy in a system.

• The energy that has potential to do work.

• The energy that is stored in chemical bonds.

Answer explanation

Potential energy is the energy that has the potential to do work, making it the correct choice.

What is kinetic energy?

• The energy that is stored and not doing work.

• The energy that has potential to do work.

• The energy that is currently doing work.

• The sum of all potential and kinetic energy in a system.

Answer explanation

Kinetic energy is the energy that is currently doing work, moving objects or causing changes in the system.
