Question
when a person strikes and lights a match, potential energy in the match is transformed into which types of energy?
electrical and thermal
thermal and radiant
radiant and nuclear
nuclear and kinetic
When a match is struck and lit, the chemical potential energy in the match is converted. Thermal energy (heat) is produced as the match burns. Radiant energy (light) is also emitted from the burning match. There is no electrical energy (no electric current - related conversion here), no nuclear energy (no nuclear reactions), and no kinetic energy (the question is about energy forms from the match's potential energy conversion, not motion - related energy of the match as a whole in a non - chemical sense).
