Question 8 • CCSD Chemistry CP IC 25-26

Which statement describes mechanical energy?

Answer
A
the energy that is stored in chemical bonds
B
the energy that is associated with temperature
C
the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object
D
the type of energy that is associated with electromagnetic radiation

Explanation

Mechanical energy is the total of an object's kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy comes from motion, and potential energy comes from position or configuration, so choice C correctly describes mechanical energy. Chemical-bond energy, temperature-related energy, and electromagnetic radiation describe other forms of energy.
