Clothing or hair becoming tangled in moving machinery is an example of what?

Potential energy
Kinetic energy
Thermal energy
Chemical energy

The correct answer is: Kinetic energy

Tangled clothing or hair is a form of potential hazard in the presence of moving machinery. This kind of energy is known as kinetic energy, which is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. Potential energy, on the other hand, refers to the energy an object has due to its position or stored energy. Thermal energy and chemical energy are also forms of potential energy, but they are not applicable in this scenario as they are not related to the movement of the machinery. Therefore, the correct answer is B Kinetic energy.
