We do an A.I. search for each question, then store the response to that question on our server. No need to do multiple searches! Repeating the same A.I. request would have a much bigger carbon footprint.

Question 1:

The energy stored in coal is in the chemical bonds of its carbon-based molecules. When coal is burned, these bonds break, releasing energy as heat.

Correct answer: A. Chemical energy.


*These A.I. responses have been individually checked to ensure they match the accepted answer, but explanations may still be incorrect. Responses may give guidance but the A.I. might not be able to answer the question! This is particularly the case for questions based on diagrams, which the A.I. typically cannot interpret.
Grade Gorilla uses Gemini, Deepseek and a range of other A.I. chatbots to generate the saved responses. Some answers have had human intervention for clarity or where the A.I. has not been able to answer the question.

Question 2:

In physics, energy stores include chemical, gravitational potential, elastic (or strain), kinetic, thermal, magnetic, and nuclear energy.
Electrical energy, however, is typically considered a form of energy transfer (via a current) or a way energy is carried, not a store in itself — though batteries store chemical energy that can be converted into electrical energy.

Therefore, the one not classed as a store is:

C. Electrical energy.

Question 3:

The question asks for the energy store associated with the force between charges (protons and electrons are charged particles).

Correct answer: B. Electrostatic energy.

Question 10:

The question refers to a truck losing kinetic energy — typically due to braking, air resistance, or friction. In such cases, the lost kinetic energy is mainly converted into thermal energy (heat) in the brakes and surroundings, often with some sound energy as well.

However, if only one answer is to be chosen, the most general and major form of dissipation is:

A. thermal energy.
