As Maya rides her bicycle faster, she has more (a)   to transfer.

• weight

• density

• energy

• matter

Answer explanation

As an object moves faster, it possesses more kinetic energy. Energy is the capacity to do work or transfer heat, and it increases with the speed of the object, making 'energy' the correct choice.
