Which energy is in a match head when you light the match?
Initially, chemical energy. This is converted mainly to heat, and some light.
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
Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light The total amount of energy?
Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light. The total amount of energy
What energy transformations are in a match?
chemical to light to heat energy :)
What type of energy transformation does burning match represents?
A match burning is an example of chemical energy transitioning to light and heat energy.
What kind of energy does a match have?
chemical energy
What energy is transfered when you light a match?
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
Why does match box transfer chemical energy into light energy?
Actually, while it does convert energy into light energy, what interests most (to light a fire, for example) is the heat energy.To answer your question, "why", that's because that's what it was designed to do.If you mean "how" - basically, in energy terms, there is some chemical energy stored in the match. When the match burns, this is released as heat (and light, and some sound).
