Which energy transformation takes place in a match head when light the match?
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.
Which type of chemical reaction absorbs thermal energy?
Endothermic
Why is concrete a good insulator?
Concrete is not a good insulator. Concrete has a high thermal mass, which means it can store and release a lot of thermal energy (heat). This property is sometimes mistaken for insulation because it can be used to delay the transmission of thermal energy. The amount of delay is proportional to the thickness of the concrete. An example of this is the use of thick concrete walls to store thermal energy during a hot day and release it during the cooler night. For a delay of this length (half a day) the thickness of the concrete wall needs to be between 150-200mm.
How do you get thermal vision on camera phone?
Download photo booth, it has the thermal on there.
Waterfall is what kind of energy?
hydro thermal or gravitational hydro where the water is evaporated and the steam pushes a turbine that creates energy. gravitational where the water falling hits and turns a turbine that creates energy
What are more examples of energy transformation?
Potential to kinetic kinetic to potential Thermal to solar
Is chemical energy a form of energy?
Yes, chemical energy is a form of potential energy. An example is the chemical energy in coal, which can be burned to convert that chemical energy into thermal energy.
Give an example of how energy causes change?
Ex: Light BulbElectric Energy → Radiant (Light) Energy → Thermal (Heat) Energy
What energy transformation occurs when you use a hot plate to boil a liquid?
Electrical to thermal
How is energy from chemical energy released and transferred into thermal energy?
Chemical compounds, like oil or coal, hold potential chemical energy in the powerful molecular bonds with the compound. If such a chemical compound undergoes a chemical reaction (in this case in an internal combustion engine), the potential chemical energy will be released in the form of thermal energy. Of course, no energy transformation is 100% efficient as some of the potential chemical energy is either not converted at all or converted into a different form of energy. Take the example of a fire in one's fire place. Although a large percentage of the potential chemical energy in the wood is converted into thermal energy that we can feel as heat, some of the energy is converted into light, that we can see as the brightness of the fire, and some is converted into sounds, as we can hear in the roaring of the fire.
What is the energy transformation of geothermal power plant?
thermal->Mechanical Kinetic->Electric Potential
Describe the energy transformation that occur when a piece of wood is burned?
Chemical Potential energy--> heat energy--->light energy
What is the energy transformation of an electric space heater?
kinetic energy transformation potential energy mechanical energy electrical energy chemical energy nuclear energy sound energy geothermal energy
What is an example of potential energy in nature?
chemical energy is a perfect example of potential energy in nature. One example of that is wood that you use when you have a fire.the potential energy is released through a chemical (exothermic) reaction as thermal energy and heats up the area surrounding it. If you want more examples of chemical energy or even more examples of potential energy just let me know
The energy stored in gasoline is?
A type of chemical energy.
What energy transformation occurs in a oven?
chemical energy to thermal energy(heat energy)
What energy transformation of a lamp?
Chemical to Radiant. sometimes you might have to use thermal in there too.
