Mechanical energy is involved when breaking sticks, as the force is applied to overcome the internal forces holding the stick together. This mechanical energy is converted into kinetic and potential energy as the stick breaks.

How can you cut popsicle sticks without breaking them?

To cut popsicle sticks without breaking them, use a sharp pair of scissors or a small saw. Make sure to apply gentle pressure and cut slowly to avoid splintering or breaking the sticks.


What type energy does glow sticks use?

Glow sticks use chemical energy that is converted into light energy through a chemical reaction. Inside the glow stick, two different chemicals are mixed to produce light when they react with each other.

What type of energy does breaking bonds release?

Breaking bonds releases potential energy stored in the chemical bonds. This potential energy can be released as kinetic energy or in the form of heat depending on the reaction.


What two energy transformations happen when you rub two sticks together and fire is started?

When you rub the sticks together, you convert kinetic energy (from moving the sticks) to internal energy, or heat energy - the sticks will warm up. When the heat energy is sufficient to overcome the activation energy of the combustion (activation energy = minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction), the chemical energy in the sticks/whatever you are combusting is converted to heat and light energy


Are glow sticks exothermic or endothermic glow sticks?

Glow sticks are exothermic.Exothermic is when heat/energy is released. And that is exactly what glow sticks do. but the energy being released is in the form of light.


You convert kinetic energy into thermal energy when you rub two sticks together because?

Kinetic energy is movement energy. So when you rub two sticks together, the rubbing is the kinetic energy. The friction that this causes releases heat. Heat is thermal energy. So due to friction you can convert kinetic energy into thermal energy by rubbing sticks together.

What type of energy dose a light stick have?

Assuming that you are referring to non-electric light sticks, it is chemical energy. The reaction is started by mechanical energy (cracking the stick). The chemical nature of glow sticks is also evident in the fact that they die down eventually after the reactants are used up.


What energy prevents molecules from breaking down spontaneously?

Activation energy is the energy required to initiate a chemical reaction and prevent molecules from breaking down spontaneously. This energy barrier must be overcome for the reaction to proceed, providing a way to regulate the rate of reactions in living organisms.
