Josie is playing a game at the local fair that involves throwing a baseball at a row of glass cups in the distance and trying to shatter them. How is energy transferred in the process? (STARTING WITH KINETIC)

• Josie first transfers her arm's kinetic energy to the ball as she throws it. When the ball hits the glass cup, some of its kinetic energy is transferred to the cup, which then shatters.

• Josie first generates kinetic energy and transfers it to the ball when it is thrown. As the ball hits the glass cup, only potential energy is transferred to the cup, causing it to shatter.

• Josie first transfers her arm's elastic energy to the ball as she throws it. When the ball hits the glass cup, some of its gravitational energy is transferred to the cup, which then shatters.
