Solar-powered cars use energy from the Sun to work. A panel on the car absorbs light energy from the Sun, which then generates an electric current. This electric current, in turn, allows the car to move. Which shows the correct order of energy transformations that take place in a solar-powered car?

electrical, chemical, kinetic
electrical, kinetic, radiant
radiant, chemical, electrical
radiant, electrical, mechanical

Answer: radiant → electrical → mechanical.

Explanation: Sunlight (radiant energy) is converted by the solar panel into electrical energy, and the electric motor converts that electrical energy into mechanical (kinetic) energy to move the car.
