There is a very small amount of kinetic energy in striking the match, but mostly you are releasing chemical potential energy. The match head just requires an increase in temperature to make it burn

∙ 14y agoWhen you first strike a match, there is activation energy in the form of heat which is formed through friction when the match head rubs against the matchbook. Once this energy is created, a chemical reaction takes place between the chemicals on the match head and the oxygen in the air. When this occurs, there is an exothermic chemical reaction in the form of both HEAT and LIGHT.

∙ 7y agoWhen you strike the match, you are converting mechanical energy to heat. Then as the light burns, you are changing chemical energy (from the intermolecular bonds in the match head) to heat and light energy (the flame).

Friction between the match and strike-board produces thermal energy. Heat energy causes chemical energy in the match to turn into thermal energy.

How can you prove that light in the form of wave?
in light photons are there they have energy and energy can be transfered in form of a wave so, it can be a wave
What energy is transfered when wood is burnt?
The chemical energy in the wood that allows it to burn is transferred to heat, light, and sound energy.
When a flashlight is turned on when does energy conversion take place?
The stored chemical energy in the battery is transfered into light energy and heat.
What are the energy transformations in striking a match?
When striking a match, the chemical energy stored in the match-head is transformed into heat and light energy.
When a flashlight is turned on where does the energy transformation takes places?
The electric energy will be transfered to light energy and heat energy once flashlight turn on.

How is energy captured and transfered in photo?
It is about pigments. they are absorbing sun light.
Where does the energy come from to light a match?
Chemical energy, stored in the match.
What energy is transfered when wood is burnt?
The chemical energy in the wood that allows it to burn is transferred to heat, light, and sound energy.
When a flashlight is turned on when does energy conversion take place?
The stored chemical energy in the battery is transfered into light energy and heat.
Which energy is in a match head when you light the match?
Initially, chemical energy. This is converted mainly to heat, and some light.
When a flashlight is turned on where does the energy transformation takes places?
The electric energy will be transfered to light energy and heat energy once flashlight turn on.
What are the energy transformations in striking a match?
When striking a match, the chemical energy stored in the match-head is transformed into heat and light energy.
What is the energy transformations in a striking match?
The match has stored energy (chemical energy). This is released as heat and light.
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.
What type of energy is a burning match?
A burning match uses up heat energy and light energy
Which energy transformation takes place in a match head when you light a match?
Chemical energy is transformed into thermal energy
