Introduction to Energy

Question 7 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Abin is doing work by lifting a bowling ball. Which statement could be made about the energy in this situation?

Answer
A
Energy is being transferred from the ball to his arm muscles.
B
Energy is being transferred from his arm muscles to the ball.
C
Energy would be recorded in units of hertz and power.
D
Energy would change from potential to chemical.

Explanation

As Abin lifts the bowling ball, his arm muscles transfer energy to it. The ball gains gravitational potential energy as it moves higher, so the statement that energy is transferred from his arm muscles to the ball is correct. Hertz measures frequency, not energy or power.
