What is the energy transformation that occurs in a fireplace?

In a fireplace, the potential energy stored in the wood is converted to thermal energy (heat) through combustion. When the wood burns, chemical energy is released in the form of heat and light energy.

How does a rocket gain potential energy?

There is more than one kind of potential energy. A rocket, when fueled, has chemical potential energy. When it burns its fuel, it loses chemical potential energy but gains gravitational potential energy. If it then falls back to the ground it loses gravitational potential energy but gains in heat and kinetic energy, until it burns up or crashes.

Is a burning candle potential or kenetic energy?

A burning candle represents both potential and kinetic energy. The potential energy is stored in the candle wax and is released as heat and light energy when the candle burns, which is the kinetic energy produced.

What is fireplace ash?

Fireplace ash is generated as a natural byproduct of burning wood. Especially with a long burning fire with several large logs, you can be left with a large quantity of ash in your fireplace. For cleanliness and safety, it's important to remove the buildup of fireplace ash. You can do something as simple as having an ash bucket next to your fireplace to scoop out the extra ashes periodically. Another option is to have an ash vacuum to clean out all the ashes. I'll share a link to a nice ash bucket and fireplace vacuum below.


As a candle burns the total amount of energy will what?
