Question

Describe at least three examples of how energy is converted from one form to another

Answer 1

Energy can be converted from one form to another. Examples: Gasoline (chemical) is put into our cars, and with the help of electrical energy from a battery, provides mechanical (kinetic) energy. ... Similarly, purchased electricity goes into an electric bulb and is converted to visible light and heat energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. The chemical energy from food is converted into mechanical energy in order for humans/animals to move.  

2. Picture a child moving down a slide. As they go down, that child has kinetic energy. However, when they reach the bottom and stop, the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. Conversely, at the top of the slide, the child has potential energy which is converted into kinetic energy once they start to go down.

3. Electrical energy from a fan is converted into kinetic energy once it is turned on. The kinetic energy is found within the blades of the fan, where they rotate and generate a cool breeze.

Explanation:

1. Chemical energy --> Mechanical energy

2. Kinetic energy --> Potential energy; Potential energy --> Kinetic energy

3. Electrical energy --> Kinetic energy
