What kinda of energy is a box of matches?

A box of matches on a high shelf has gravitational potential energy.A box of matches falling from the high shelf has kinetic energy.A box of matches on fire has heat, sound and light energy.A box of matches on its own has chemical potential energy.


Which energy transformation takes place when a match is struck against the side of a match box and brusts in to flames?

When a match is struck against the side of a matchbox and bursts into flames, the energy transformation that takes place is from mechanical energy (friction between the match and the matchbox) to heat energy. The friction generates enough heat to ignite the match head, causing it to catch fire and release energy in the form of light and heat.


What are the energy transfers that take place when lifting a box from the floor?

When lifting a box from the floor, the energy is transferred from your muscles to the box in the form of mechanical energy. The potential energy of the box increases as it is lifted against gravity. Additionally, some energy is also transferred to the surroundings in the form of heat due to friction and air resistance.


When the match stick is struck against the match box it gets lit what energy is converted into light and heat?

The energy of mechanical work is converted into light and heat energy when a match stick is struck against a matchbox. Friction between the match head and the rough surface ignites the match head, producing light and heat as a result.


What form of energy is being used when a heavy box is pushed across the floor?

The energy being used to push a heavy box across the floor is mechanical energy. The person pushing the box is converting their own muscular energy into kinetic energy to move the box.

Are there two energies to strike a match?

Yes - mechanical energy to scrape the match along the side of the box, and then chemical energy to feed the flame.


When is kinetic energy for a match box car zero?

Kinetic energy = ½ * mass * velocity^2 The mass doesn't change as the match box car moves around, but when it stops velocity =0. When the velocity = 0. KE = 0.

Yes, there are some of my friends who are allergic to the match box and match sticks.

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).


What can you do to light a match?

Strike it on a match box.
