Wood has energy while a burning fire has energy?
Wood has chemical potential energy, when combustion occurs, you have fire. Fire is mostly heat and light energy.
What is the starting energy of a wood on a log fire?
It is the release of the chemical energy stored in the wood - however remember this chemical energy was originally trapped form the sunlight as the tree grew, so the ultimate source of the energy is the Sun.
How wood converted to heat energy?
This goes back to the second theory of thermodynamics....Matter is not created or destroyed...only altered. In this case the wood is altered into fire and the fire produces heat.
What does it mean when it says what forms of potential energy were displayed in the illustrations?
I assumed this question is on symbol interpretation. There are symbol on energy, for instance atom is for nuclear energy, lightning is for electricity, fire is for thermal energy, wood/plant is fuel derived from wood/plant, oil barrel for oil. From above example, wood/plant fuel is chemical potential and nuclear fuel is nuclear potential energy.
Why does a fire in a fireplace burn more briskly on a windy day?
Fire is the reaction of wood with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, carbon, hydrogen, and energy. More oxygen equals more energy/ more wind equals more fire. Too much wind will blow out the fire because wood needs to be a certain temperature to ignite and excess wind will carry away the hot air that keeps the fire going.

What does a log fire change into heat and light energy?
A log fire converts chemical potential energy stored in the wood into heat and light. The bonds in the wood are broken and release energy energy as they form lower energy bonds with oxygen.
How can forest be used as energy source?
The wood can be burned in a fire.

What are the sources of heat energy from 1940-1960?
Wood and coal fire :)

What burns on a fire?
What burns in a wood fire is the gas inside the wood, and the heat breaks down particles in the wood, causing the bonds that were broken to release energy and the entire compound then combusted.
How can chemical energy transform into thermal energy into light energy?
The transformations that you describe are quite common. Fire does this. Chemical energy in (for example) wood, transforms into heat when you burn the wood, and when you get enough heat, you will then also get light; in a fire, you get a glowing, very hot gas called plasma.
How can chemical energy transform into thermal energy then into light energy?

How does wood catch on fire?
wood catches on fire because of all the carbon and hydrogen stored inside. there is also the energy from soaking in the sun and absorbing it's radiation.
