All other things being equal why is it harder to break a shorter piece of wood than a longer one?

When you break a plank the length of plank from the break point to the nearest end acts as a 'leaver' the longer the leaver the greater the mechanical efficiency. Therefore a long plank will be easier to break (provided you try and break it near the middle).

When wood burns, the fibrous structure of the wood is lost; even if the chemical reaction could be reversed, the information contained in the physical arrangement of the original wood no longer exists. Wood has a shape, ashes do not.


What are wood fire energy transformation?

Wood fire energy transformation refers to the process of converting chemical energy stored in wood into heat and light energy through combustion. When wood is burned in a fire, the chemical bonds in the wood molecules break down, releasing heat and light energy as well as byproducts such as carbon dioxide and ash. This energy transformation is used for heating, cooking, and generating electricity in some cases.


What happens to wood when it burns and why does it undergo such a transformation?

When wood burns, it undergoes a chemical reaction called combustion. The heat from the fire breaks down the wood's complex molecules, releasing carbon dioxide and water vapor as byproducts. This transformation occurs because the heat provides the energy needed to break the bonds holding the wood's molecules together, allowing them to rearrange into simpler compounds.
