Answer

(a) Kinetic energy (b) Potential energy (c) Kinetic and potential energy (d) Potential energy (e) Kinetic energy (f) Kinetic energy

Work Step by Step

Answers (a) and (f) represent kinetic energy because there is movement. Answer (b) and (d) represents potential energy because there is no motion. Answer (c) represents mechanical energy which is the result of kinetic and gravitational potential energy. Answer (e) represents kinetic energy because as the water freezes, potential energy of molecules is lower, while the total kinetic energy remains the same (it is the sum of vibrational and rotational energy of atoms).
