c) a train moving on a track
d) a glow stick lit up from the chemical reaction
What is "C" - a train MOVING on a track?
A styrofoam ball has less of this than a baseball does.
What is mass or weight?
The position in which potential and kinetic energy are ABOUT the same.
What is halfway in between the height an object fell from and the ground? OR What is halfway between the high point and the low point in the scenario?
What is THERMAL energy?
We know energy can be transformed because of this scientific Law.

What is low?
A pinwheel is powered mainly by this type of energy.
What is mechanical energy?
This type of energy is defined by the ability to allow for motion for example water falling from a dam or wind pushing the blades of a windwill.
