The body stores lipids ingested as fat and uses this energy when needed   (chemical energy)

A person’s hat falls off and lands on the ground  (gravitational energy)

A wave of water pushes a surfer to shore  (mechanical energy)

A burner on a stove heats up a tea kettle  (thermal energy)

A power plant splits atoms to generate power for a city  (nuclear energy)

A nerve sends an impulse to another nerve  (electrical energy)

A plant absorbs the Sun’s rays to start the process of photosynthesis  (radiant energy)

Explanation:

Chemical energy is stored up in chemical molecules, and released when the energy used to bind the elements of these molecules are released.

Gravitational energy is the energy due to the attraction between two or more object that has mass.

Mechanical energy is the energy of motion of a body.

Thermal energy is the energy due to temperature difference. It flows from a hot body to a cold body until they both achieve thermal equilibrium wit one another.

Nuclear energy is the energy liberated by splitting or decaying nucleus of an atom of an element.

Electrical energy is the energy that is generated when electrons flow in an orderly manner through a material.

Radiant energy is the energy due to the electromagnetic wave energy of light.  

his tongue, i believe, was bloody and hanging out of his mouth.

he looked as if he were hungry.

he has several wolf-like qualities; a gray coat, sharp claws and yellow fangs.

those eyes made me feel, dear reader, like the end was near.

as i reached for a stick, he moved to the other side of the hill.

panting and hungry, he looked at me, a defenseless human and he snarled.

well i said my prayers, however, he simply turned and limped off.
