Which of the following best represents potential energy being converted to kinetic energy? (2 points) the chemical energy in a battery is used to power a cell phone. the movement of wind turns a windmill that generates electricity. a man pedals a bicycle to ride across town. a woman kicks a soccer ball and scores a goal.

Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy present in an object due to its position.

Kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its motion. For example, a woman kicks a soccer ball and scores a goal.

When a work is done by an object due to its position or motion then this is known as mechanical energy. For example, the movement of wind turns a windmill that generates electricity.

When chemical energy is utilized to generate electrical energy in an electrochemical cell then it is known as electric current. For example, the chemical energy in a battery is used to power a cell phone.

Thus, we can conclude that a woman kicks a soccer ball and scores a goal, best represents potential energy being converted to kinetic energy.
