A baseball player hits a ball. Which is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head?
Elan Coil [88]

The right option is; b. mechanical

Mechanical energy is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head.

Mechanical energy is the energy that an object acquires due to its position or due to its motion. From the question, the baseball player has chemical potential energy (stored as food) which is transformed into work. As the baseball player hits the ball, there is energy exchange in which the ball acquires energy to perform its work. The energy obtained by the ball upon which work is done is called mechanical energy.

Annette [7]

Answer: A) Storing experimental samples

Explanation:

It is a common piece of laboratory glassware that can be made of glass or plastic and is opened at the top and closed at the bottom.

It cannot be used for measurements because there is no graduation indicating the volume.

Althought it can contain extra chemicals left over from an experiment, it is not the main proposal of the glassware that is to store samples.

It cannot be used in a microscope and the object for that is a microscope slide.
