. A slingshot is used to shoot a small ball straight upward into the air; when the pouch is released, the sling propels the ball upward. Assuming no air resistance, as the ball is propelled upward,
what kind of energy transformation is taking place?

The energy transformation taking place are;

1) Chemical energy → Mechanical Energy (Kinetic energy)  in the muscles of the the person shooting the slingshot

2) Kinetic energy from the muscle → Elastic potential energy of the slingshot before it is released

3) Elastic potential energy of the slingshot → Kinetic energy in the small ball as the starts moving up into the air

4) Kinetic energy in the upward moving ball  → Gravitational potential energy in the ball as it slows down while increasing in height

5) Maximum gravitational energy at the highest point where upward motion stops and downward motion starts then, gravitational potential energy → Kinetic energy as the ball comes back down with increasing speed

6)  Kinetic energy → Sound, heat, kinetic energy (received by other items at collision) when the ball reaches the ground
