Define potential and kinetic energy and provide two specific examples of each. Explain how one form of energy can be converted into another. Will some energy be lost during this conversion. If so, what form will it take

So since the snail is moving at 3.6  miles per hour you multiply by 5280 to change it into feet per hour. so you get 36*528 ft per hour. since there are 3600 seconds in an hour, you divide 36*528 by 3600. so simplifying we get 528/100 which is 5.28 ft per second

Sounds propagates through some kind of medium. usually it's air, but it goes just as well through solid objects like walls, windows etc. a soundwave will compress the (air)molecules in front of it, and if this increased density wave hits your ears, you register it as sound. solid objects like walls are a lot denser than air, this means that they will damp a wave, but also carry it easier.
