Question

use the simulation again. now go to \systems\ and create 5 different types of energy transformations. identify what type of energy you start with (input of energy) and what type of energy you end up with (output of energy). 4. energy transformation 1: 5. energy transformation 2: 6. energy transformation 3: 7. energy transformation 4: 8. 9. energy transformation 5:

Explanation:

Step1: Recall common energy transformations

Energy can transform between different forms such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, and light.

Step2: Provide example 1

In a battery - powered flashlight, chemical energy (input) in the battery is transformed into light energy (output).

Step3: Provide example 2

In an electric motor, electrical energy (input) is transformed into mechanical energy (output).

Step4: Provide example 3

When a match is lit, chemical energy (input) stored in the match head is transformed into thermal energy (heat) and light energy (output).

Step5: Provide example 4

In a solar - powered calculator, light energy (input) from the sun is transformed into electrical energy (output) to power the calculator.

Step6: Provide example 5

In a steam turbine in a power plant, thermal energy (input) from steam is transformed into mechanical energy (output) which then can be further transformed into electrical energy.

Answer:

1. Chemical energy (input) to Light energy (output)
2. Electrical energy (input) to Mechanical energy (output)
3. Chemical energy (input) to Thermal and Light energy (output)
4. Light energy (input) to Electrical energy (output)
5. Thermal energy (input) to Mechanical energy (output)
6. Mechanical energy (input) to Electrical energy (output) (if considering a generator part of the steam - turbine setup)
