Question
Which of the following is an example in which kinetic energy is converted to potential energy?
O A. A rock falls down a cliff.
OB. A match burns.
OC. A spring is stretched.
OD. A light bulb glows brightly.
Answer:
C. A spring is stretched.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, potential energy is stored energy. The motion of stretching the spring is kinetic, the energy it has before it’s released is potential.
