How is energy transferred or transformed in this question a softball player throws a ball toward first base?

This question deals with two types of energy that go hand-in-hand; kinetic and potential energy.

Potential energy is energy that is stored inside a body at a position relative to others, that will eventually be used at some point. Kinetic energy is energy that is possessed by a body while being in a state of motion.

In the example, the baseball player has potential energy stored, of which he will use to throw the ball. When he "winds up" (gets ready to throw the ball), this potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, and is transferred to the baseball. Once the baseball leaves his hand, it's potential energy is converted to kinetic. Once it reaches the player at first base, the kinetic energy converts back to potential as it slows down and eventually comes to rest in the glove of the player, transferring that energy to him.

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.

positive reinforcement? ?
