Examples: Examples: Chemical energy x to mechanical energy Chemical energy x to mechanical energy Electrical energy x to thermal energy Electrical energy x to thermal energy

13. Multiple transformation Multiple transformation: a series of energy transformations is needed to do work. Multiple transformation: a series of energy transformations is needed to do work. Examples: Examples: Lighting a match: Wright down all of the types of energy needed or are a result of lighting a match starting with the act of strike the match. Lighting a match: Wright down all of the types of energy needed or are a result of lighting a match starting with the act of strike the match. Mechanical, to strike the match then thermal, this releases stored chemical energy which gives off thermal energy and last electromagnetic in the form of light.

17. Conservation of energy Law of conservation of energy Law of conservation of energy As with the law of conservation of mass, the law of conservation of energy states: Any energy at the beginning of the “work” will be accounted for at the end. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. As with the law of conservation of mass, the law of conservation of energy states: Any energy at the beginning of the “work” will be accounted for at the end.
