Question

A chunk of coal has a substantial amount of chemical potential energy.This image is courtesy of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.If released, the chemical potential energy will cause the coal atoms and molecules to vibrate violently, and this internal kinetic energy can be transferred to other nearby objects.Which of these is the best way to transform this chemical potential energy into internal kinetic energy? A. burn the coal B. drop the coal from a great height C. submerge the coal in water D. roll the coal down a hill

Answer 1

Answer :
Burn it

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Sometimes, this motion is internal.

When coal is heated, the atoms and molecules inside of the coal can gain a large amount of kinetic energy. This is experienced as heat.

The best way to release all of a chunk of coal's internal kinetic energy is to burn it.

Answer 2

Burn the coal!!!!
