When a space shuttle takes off, the chemical reactions of the fuel give the shuttle the kinetic energy to leave Earth's atmosphere as shown in the figure below. The kinetic energy of the space shuttle is less than the potential energy of the fuel used. Which statement best explains this idea? A.) The potential energy is used to overcome Earth’s gravity.

B.) The potential energy is also converted to light, thermal energy, and sound energy.

C.) The potential energy must be consumed to make the fuel burn.

D.) The potential energy is destroyed by the warmth of the reaction.
