[Amplify Science] Kayla wonders if lasers will be able to cut a hole in a piece of silicone, which is a change that requires energy. The table below
shows what happens when different types light from lasers hit the silicone.
Table says:
Helium-neon laser light reflected off the silicone

Carbon dioxide laser light was absorbed by the silicone

Diode laser light transmitted through the silicone

based on the info, which laser can cut a hole in the silicone?

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
