Which of the following best represents potential energy being converted to kinetic energy? (2 points) The chemical energy in a battery is used to power a cell phone. The movement of wind turns a windmill that generates electricity. A man pedals a bicycle to ride across town. A woman kicks a soccer ball and scores a goal.

Answer :

Answer: A woman kicks a soccer ball and scores a goal.

Explanation:

Potential energy: it is the energy possessed by the body due to its position.

Kinetic energy: it is the energy possessed by the the body  due to its motion.

When a woman kick's a soccer ball she transferred her potential energy to soccer ball.Due to this action soccer ball comes into motion which means potential energy imparted to the ball starts getting converted into kinetic energy.

Answer: A woman kicks a soccer ball and  scores a goal.

Explanation:

Energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its position is known as potential energy.

Energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its motion is known as kinetic energy.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another.

The situation which represents potential energy being converted to kinetic energy is : when a woman kicks a soccer ball and scores a goal.

The potential energy stored in the ball when work is done to raise it to a height is converted to kinetic energy when ball is in motion and reaches a the goal.
