Question

Last Physics question.. Yay!

Answer 1

2. Identify five more types of energy transformations that you see at home, at school, or outdoors. Make sure to name the action, such as turning on a light, as well as the two types of energy involved. Remember, for energy to be transformed, the type of energy before and after a task must be different. (10 points)

As you look around you, make note of technology that is turned on and off. This indicates that some sort of energy is present before the switch is flipped. Also look at objects that move from one height to another, because that will involve kinetic and gravitational potential energy. Finally, look for actions that involve changes in temperature, sound, and light. Often these actions mean that energy is being transformed.

Answer 2

I am sitting at a table right now

Answer 3

an outlet may be one answer

Answer 4

it uses mechanical to electrical?

Answer 5

good, an outlet giving power to a device would be chemical --> electrical

Answer 6

it wouldn't be mechanical

Answer 7

could you explain that

Answer 8

mechanical energy is energy due to an objects motion

electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (chemical energy)

Answer 9

need to go to lunch

Answer 10

Sure we can continue when you get back

Answer 11

an alarm clock could be electrical/chemical ---> sound energy

let me know if you need any other suggestions

Answer 12

how about an iron

Answer 13

it would be electrical to heat right?

Answer 14

awesome

Answer 15

placing some water in a kettle to boil

Answer 16

this would be chemical to heat?

Answer 17

good (would be good to specify what type of stove, such as gas (chemical)

Answer 18

Turning on the fireplace

Answer 19

electric to heat

Answer 20

good, for an electric fireplace this would be true

Answer 21

for gas?

Answer 22

a natural fireplace is just a place to burn wood (chemical) so it would be chemical to heat

Answer 23

Thank you so much !!
