Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses while in motion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Petroleum reserves of coal, oil, and gas represent chemical potential energy by virtue of the chemical bond that must be broken to release energy. Heating oil potential energy has chemi-cal-to-chemical bonds. Atomic energy involves two processesfission (splitting atoms) and fu-sion (joining two atoms).
