A cook preparing a meal for a group of people is an example of

kinetic energy because he has the ability to make a meal.

potential energy because he has the ability to make a meal.

kinetic energy because he is making the meal.

potential energy because he is making the meal

Answer 1

A cook is already preparing the meal so he can be considered to be in motion, so what type of energy if any must he be exerting?

Answer 2

kinetic?

Answer 3

Correct!

Answer 4

There are 2 options for kinetic energy so is it that it is because he has the ability to make a meal or because he is making the meal?

Answer 5

so it would be the third one right?

Answer 6

I think making it right?

Answer 7

Correct because the ability to make a mean means that he is not making the meal but has the potential to make it and in the question we also see that he is already "preparing" and moving to make the meal
