(p72) _______ is the ability to cause change.
- Motion
- Force
- Energy
- Sound
Correct Answer

A. Energy

Explanation

Energy is the ability to cause change. It can be transformed from one form to another and is required for any kind of work or movement to occur. Motion refers to the change in position of an object, force refers to a push or pull on an object, and sound refers to the vibrations that travel through a medium. While all of these concepts are related to the idea of causing change, energy is the most general and encompassing term.
