When striking a match, the chemical energy stored in the match-head is transformed into heat and light energy.
What form of energy has an unlit match?
A burning match uses up heat energy and light energy
The match has stored energy (chemical energy). This is released as heat and light.
Chemical energy is transformed into thermal energy
When striking a match, the chemical energy stored in the match-head is transformed into heat and light energy.
Chemical energy, stored in the match.
What form of energy has an unlit match?
A burning match uses up heat energy and light energy
The match has stored energy (chemical energy). This is released as heat and light.
The mechanical energy used to strike a match is transformed first to thermal energy. The thermal energy causes the particles in the match to release stored chemical energy, which is transformed to thermal energy and the electromagnetic energy you see as light.
Chemical energy is transformed into thermal energy
Potential energy, released when the match is struck.
Chemical energy in your body to the Gravitational Potential Energy of the match stick.
Technically its potential energy until it's lit, and then it depends on the match brand.
A match burning is an example of chemical energy transitioning to light and heat energy.
While the match is burning it has thermal energy
