Burning a match involves a chemical reaction that releases stored chemical potential energy in the matchstick. Initially, the matchstick has potential energy due to the chemical bonds within it, which is then converted to thermal energy, light, and sound energy as it burns. Therefore, the act of burning a match involves a conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy in the form of heat and light.
A lit match has both kinetic and potential energy. The potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the match head before it is lit, and the kinetic energy is released as heat and light energy when the match is ignited.
Potential
I think it is kinetic energy because it is moving and moving energy is kinetic energy.
Burning coal has chemical potential energy, because the energy is stored up in the bonds between the carbon molecules, and when the coal is burned, the stored energy is released and transformed into heat, light, and even sometimes sound energy.
No, burning a match is an example of chemical energy being converted into heat and light energy. Potential energy is energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

No, burning a match is an example of chemical energy being converted into heat and light energy. Potential energy is energy stored in an object due to its position or state.
The energy in a matchstick before it is burned is chemical potential energy stored in the match head. When the match is struck and burned, this chemical potential energy is converted into thermal energy in the form of heat and light.
A match burning is an example of chemical energy transitioning to light and heat energy.
When a person strikes and lights a match, potential energy in the match is transformed into thermal energy (heat), light energy (the flame), and chemical energy (burning of the matchstick).
Yes, a burning match is an example of chemical energy being released through a chemical reaction. When the match is ignited, the chemical bonds in the matchstick are broken down, releasing stored energy in the form of heat and light.
When a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted into thermal energy and light energy. The heat produced through the burning process ignites the match, and as the match burns, it emits light energy in the form of a flame.
Potential energy, released when the match is struck.
A burning match produces thermal energy, in the form of heat and light, due to the combustion reaction of the match head with oxygen in the air.
