Determine if each image shows kinetic or potential energy.

Let’s go through each picture one by one and decide whether it shows Kinetic Energy (energy of motion) or Potential Energy (stored energy, waiting to be used).

---

1. Tennis racket hitting a ball → The ball is moving after being hit → Kinetic

2. Gas pump → Gasoline stores chemical energy that can be used later → Potential

3. Hamburger → Food has stored chemical energy for your body → Potential

4. Kids playing with a ball in the air → The ball is moving through the air → Kinetic

5. Coal → Stores chemical energy until burned → Potential

6. Bow and arrow drawn back → The bowstring is stretched — storing elastic energy → Potential

7. Battery → Stores electrical energy chemically → Potential

8. Balloon releasing air → Air is rushing out — motion happening → Kinetic

9. Girl holding a ball on a cliff edge → Ball is high up — gravity can pull it down → Potential

10. Bicyclists going up/down a hill → They are moving → Kinetic
*(Note: Even if one is at the top, the image shows them riding — so motion = kinetic)*

11. Stretched spring → Spring is compressed/stretched — storing elastic energy → Potential

12. Raised object (person lifting something) → Object is lifted against gravity → Potential

13. Green balloon (not moving) → If it’s just sitting there, not flying or deflating → Potential *(It has potential to fly if released, but currently static)*
→ But wait — look again: In row 2, column 4, we had a *deflating* balloon → Kinetic. This one is just a full balloon, no motion shown → So Potential

14. Dynamite → Explosive material — stores chemical energy → Potential

15. Ball falling from height → It’s moving downward → Kinetic

16. Person pushing cart downhill → Cart is moving → Kinetic

Now let’s list all answers in order as they appear left to right, top to bottom:

Row 1:
- Tennis racket & ball → Kinetic
- Gas pump → Potential
- Hamburger → Potential
- Kids with ball → Kinetic

Row 2:
- Coal → Potential
- Bow and arrow → Potential
- Battery → Potential
- Deflating balloon → Kinetic

Row 3:
- Girl on cliff with ball → Potential
- Bicyclists on hill → Kinetic
- Stretched spring → Potential
- Raised object → Potential

Row 4:
- Green balloon (static) → Potential
- Dynamite → Potential
- Falling ball → Kinetic
- Person pushing cart → Kinetic
