What energy source is used to start the burning of a candle?
matchsticks
What supplies the activation energy to light the candle?
Energy is never "used" it is always converted to another form of energy.Therefore, there must be different forms of energy which are:1. Chemical2. Electrical3. Elastic4. Nuclear5. Thermal6. Gravitational7. Kinetic8. Light(9. Sound)When a candle burns the chemical energy is converted into thermal or "heat" energy.
What source of thermal energy does an internal combustion engine use?
burning fuel
What source of energy is a burning candle?
it is used to produce light, but it also produces heat as a byproduct
Is a burning candle a light sources?
a burning candle is a light source due to the fire.
Is there physics in a candle?
Yes, part of physics is studying the transfer of energy from one form to another. Within the candle is chemical potential energy (think about how the candle has to burn in scented candles), when a fire source comes near enough to the candle the chemical potential energy is transferred into thermal energy (heat energy) and radiant energy (visible light energy)
The first attempts at industry depended on what source of energy?
The earliest industries used heat/thermal energy to run their operations by burning feul or coal to generate the heat energy.
Is heat a source of energy?
A heat wave is a source of thermal energy.
Does geothermal renewable?
Geo = earth and thermal = heat. Yes it is a renewable source of energy. Steam engines can be run of this type of energy which will essentially be clean burning fuel.
Where does thermal energgy come from?
Thermal energy comes from sun. It is a source of heat energy.
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Were is the most thermal energy?
On Earth, the greatest source of thermal energy would be at the earth's core.
