You are making toast. You take two slices of bread and put them into the slots of a toaster. Then you plug in the toaster and press the button down. One minute later you hear two golden, crispy slices pop up. Which table correctly matches the action with the type of energy?

Answer 1

The process of making toast involves several types of energy. Here's a breakdown that matches actions with their corresponding types of energy:

| Action | Type of Energy | |-------------------------------|----------------------| | Plugging in the toaster | Electrical Energy | | Heating elements in the toaster | Thermal Energy | | Toast popping up | Mechanical Energy |

1. Plugging in the toaster: This action involves converting electrical energy from the outlet.
2. Heating elements in the toaster: When the toaster is on, electrical energy is converted into thermal energy as the heating elements get hot and toast the bread.
3. Toast popping up: As the toast is finished toasting, the mechanism that pops the toast up uses mechanical energy to lift the slices.

This table depicts how the different actions relate to various types of energy transformations in the process of making toast.
