Is fire a example of thermal energy?

Yes, fire is an example of thermal energy. When fuel is burned, the chemical energy is converted into heat and light energy, resulting in the production of fire which is a form of thermal energy.


What happens to fire in a vacuum?

It will go out. Fire needs oxygen, and a vacuum has none.


How is fire an example of thermal energy?

Fire is an example of thermal energy because it is produced through the rapid oxidation of fuel, leading to the release of heat and light energy. The high temperature of a fire results from the conversion of chemical energy stored in the fuel into thermal energy. Essentially, fire is a form of thermal energy that is generated by a combustion process.


What happens to the speed of the pursued plane when it returns the fire?

When the pursued plane returns the fire, a conservation of momentum in its speed happens. The momentum after the event will be equal to the momentum before the event.


List 5 examples of radiant energy?

One example is the sun warming your face. Heat is transferred from the sun to your face. Another example is the fire in the fire place warming your hands.Heat is transferred from the fire to your hands. Another example is when you lay your towel on the sand. Heat is transferred from the sand to the towel. Another example is the fire heating up the stove. Heat is transferred from the fire to the stove. The last example is the light bulb warming your face. The heat from the light bulb is transferred to your face.
