Here is the matching of situations with their corresponding energy transformations:
-
Chemical potential energy transformed into radiant energy: This occurs in processes like photosynthesis or in a chemical reaction that produces light.
-
Gravitational potential energy transformed into kinetic energy: This happens when an object falls due to gravity, such as a ball rolling down a hill.
-
Elastic potential energy transformed into kinetic energy: This can occur when a stretched rubber band is released, causing the rubber band to snap back and move.
-
Chemical potential energy transformed into thermal energy: This transformation happens during combustion, such as burning wood or gasoline.
-
Electrical energy transformed into radiant energy: This occurs in light bulbs where electrical energy produces light.
-
Kinetic energy being transformed into thermal energy: This can happen during friction, like when rubbing hands together to create warmth.
-
Electrical energy transformed into kinetic energy: This occurs in electric motors, where electrical energy is converted to mechanical motion.
-
Kinetic energy transformed into electric energy: This transformation can happen in generators, where the motion of a turbine turns mechanical energy into electrical energy.
