A boy shooting a rubber band across the classroom -->
Elastic potential energy transformed into kinetic energy
<span>The initial energy is the energy stored in the muscles of the boy's arm, which is elastic potential energy. This is converted into motion of the rubber, therefore kinetic energy
A child going down a slide on a playground --> </span>Gravitational potential energy transformed into kinetic energy
On top of the slide, all the energy of the child is gravitational potential energy due to its height with respect to the ground (E=mgh). when it moves down the slide, this is converted into kinetic energy, because the child acquires a speed v (E=1/2 mv^2)

Rubbing your hands together to warm them on a cold day --> </span>Kinetic energy being transformed into thermal energy <span>
When rubbing hands, we are moving them (kinetic energy), and this energy raises the temperature of the hand's surface (thermal energy)
Turning on a battery operated light --> </span>
Chemical potential energy transformed into radiant energy <span>
A battery works by mean of chemical reactions (chemical potential energy), producing light (so, emitting energy by radiation, i.e. radiant energy)
Using a dc electric motor --> </span> Electrical energy transformed into kinetic energy<span>
A dc electric motor works using currents (so, electrical energy), and the energy produced can be used for example to accelerate a car (kinetic energy)
Using a gas power heater to warm a room --> </span>Chemical potential energy transformed into thermal energy
<span>A gas power heater burns gases (so, chemical reaction, i.e. chemical potential energy) to raise the temperature of the room (thermal energy)
Using a hand crank generator to produce electric current --> Kinetic energy transformed into electrical energy
In a hand-crank generator, the handle is being rotated (kinetic energy) in order to produce an electric current (electrical energy)
Using the light in your room that is plugged into the wall --> </span>Electrical energy transformed into radiant energy
<span>The lamp works by using electrical current flowing into a resistor (electrical energy) and it produces light, so it emits energy by electromagnetic radiation (radiant energy)

If it's not moving at all at the beginning of the 10 seconds, then it falls 490 meters straight down in 10 seconds.
(Note: This is true of all objects on Earth . . . rubber balls, feathers, grains of sand, school buses, battle ships . . . everything. As long as air doesn't hold them back. Anything falling from rest falls 490 meters in the first 10 seconds.)
Explanation:
1. Movement of water, food and mineral salts in plants
2. Absorption of water by towels when wiping our bodies
3. It is used to absorb ink using a blotting paper or tissue
Answer:
80.386 degrees
Explanation:
We use the cosine equation here (which is the adjacent side of the unknown angle divided by the hypotenuse
The adjacent side = 699ft
The hypotenuse = 1034ft
using cos∅ = Adjacent/hypotenuse
where ∅ is the unknown angle
cos ∅ = 699/1034 = 0.167
∅ = arccos 0.167 = 80.368°
As easy as one can imagine
