The temperature of the areas surrounding Farmington before Storm 1 and before Storm 2 was about 8°C, and there was the same amount of water vapor in the air. Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2.

Farmington Before Storm 1: Photograph of farmland on a clear day, with a blank response box containing a question mark. The air temperature is 8° Celsius. Before Storm 2: The same scene with an air parcel in place of the blank response box. The temperature inside the air parcel is 19° Celsius and outside is 8° Celsius. Arrows labeled wind frame the air parcel, pointing inwards.
What were the conditions before Storm 1, and why did more rain fall with those conditions?

thermal energy is the answer

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.
