Explanation:

Electrical energy is defined as the energy flowing through a device due to the flow of electrons or charges from one point to another.

The energy present within an object or material due to the sum of its motion and potential energy is known as mechanical energy.

Thermal energy is defined as the energy present within an object because of the motion of its particles.

So, when we plug in and turn on a hair dryer then electrical energy starts to flow. As a result, some of its molecules will gain kinetic energy and some will have potential energy.

Hence, its sum will lead to formation of a mechanical energy. Since, this mechanical energy gets converted into thermal energy due to which hairs get dry.

Thus, we can conclude that the energy transformation that occurs when a hair dryer is plugged in and turned on is that electrical energy transforms into mechanical and thermal energy.

How do you think a country's GDP affects its citizen ability to consume

Aliun [14]

<span>The larger the GDP the better the overall economy of the country. It means more produced equals more for domestic consumption and hopefully an excess for export. It is essentially the production of wealth that will increase the standard of living for every citizen. Remember, GDP is the measure of the value of the gross domestic production of goods and services.</span>

What's the difference between gold and other metals

Zanzabum

Well, gold is way different form other say for instance what if you get a really good ring not to expensive or cheap, but its in between those characteristics what if u get a gold ring to compare now one might tarnish or fade, but if you really look at it that gold one will not it really all dependents on what metals your talking about cause all metals aren't the same some fade and some don't . Also the oxygen level is weak for other metals, but gold it different it can still keeps its shine .

- That's the best explanation i can give IF ITS NOT ENUH OR NOT RIGHT JUH COMMENT BELOWW↓↓ I WILL THINK OF SOMEThING ELSE THANKS! YOU HAVE A GREAT DAYY .
