Solve this multiple-choice question and check the correct answer with its explanation below.

Answer options

  1. Gravitational potential energy → heat energy to air → kinetic energy → heat energy to ground and apple → sound energy
  2. Gravitational potential energy → sound energy → kinetic energy → heat energy to air → heat energy to ground and apple
  3. Gravitational potential energy → kinetic energy → heat energy to air → heat energy to ground and apple → sound energy
  4. Gravitational potential energy → kinetic energy → sound energy → heat energy to air → heat energy to ground and apple

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Gravitational potential energy → kinetic energy → heat energy to air → heat energy to ground and apple → sound energy
