The correct response is Mechanical energy.
Hydroelectric dams capture mechanical energy from the moving water as it flows through and transforms it into electrical energy using turbines.
Hydroelectric dams work by blocking the path of a water source to create an area with water held back by the dam. The dam can then be opened to allow water to be released.. The energy from the moving water is used and transformed into electrical energy. What type of energy does a hydroelectric dam capture as the water passes through?(1 point)

The correct response is light energy → electrical energy → heat energy.
In this scenario, the solar panels convert light energy from the sun into electrical energy. This electrical energy is then used by the oven, where it is transformed into heat energy to bake the cookies. Thus, the transformations are from light to electrical to heat energy.

electrical to sound
The correct response is electrical to sound.
When a smoke alarm goes off, it typically uses electrical energy to power its internal components and produce a sound (alarm) to alert individuals to potential danger.
You are cooking pasta and putting a pot of water on an electric stove. When the water starts to boil, you add the pasta. What energy transformation occurs to cook the pasta?(1 point)
Responses
electric energy to heat energy
electric energy to heat energy
heat energy to mechanical energy
heat energy to mechanical energy
mechanical energy to light energy
mechanical energy to light energy
nuclear energy to heat energy
Responses
electric energy to heat energy
electric energy to heat energy
heat energy to mechanical energy
heat energy to mechanical energy
mechanical energy to light energy
mechanical energy to light energy
nuclear energy to heat energy
The correct response is electric energy to heat energy.
When you put the pot of water on the electric stove, the electric energy from the stove is transformed into heat energy, which heats the water until it boils and cooks the pasta.
