What happens to chemical energy in a match when it burns?

Back

The chemical energy stored in the match is transformed into thermal energy (heat) and light energy.

Front

What energy transformation occurs in a wind turbine?

Back

A wind turbine transforms mechanical energy from the wind into electrical energy.

Front

What is the role of solar panels in energy transformation?

Back

Solar panels convert light energy from the sun into electrical energy.

Front

How does a flashlight operate in terms of energy transformation?

Back

A flashlight transforms chemical energy from batteries into electrical energy, which is then converted into light energy.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in a car engine?

Back

In a car engine, chemical energy from fuel is transformed into mechanical energy to power the vehicle.

Front

What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on position, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, resulting from the movement of particles.
