Yes.
The study of the energy transformations that occur in a collection of matter is calledThermodynamics.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed - only transformed from one type to another.
When energy changes from one form to another it is through a process called transduction. This is done by a transducer, which is anything that converts energy. The human body converts chemical energy to heat and physical energy, nuclear reactors change heat energy to electrical energy, etc...
Yes. Chemical energy to mechanical and electrical energy and then mechanical energy to kinetic energy.
Yes. Chemical energy to mechanical and electrical energy and then mechanical energy to kinetic energy.

2. Energy can change from one form to another. This is called an energy conversion or energy transformation. • The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can change form, but it cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the total amount of energy stays the same. • In energy transformations, some energy is always lost to the environment as thermal energy. Examples of energy transformations and their uses: · A television changes electrical energy into sound and light energy. · A toaster changes electrical energy into thermal energy and light. · A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and mechanical energy. · A flashlight changes chemical energy from batteries into light energy. · Solar energy is converted into electrical energy using solar panels. · Campfires convert chemical energy stored in wood into thermal energy, which is useful for cooking food and staying warm.

energy
It changes to another form.
In most energy transformations, part of the energy is wasted. Much of the wasted energy is usually converted to heat.
