Homework Statement
"identify the type of energy conversions present in each of the following situations. Some questions may use multiple types of energy."
1) a wind turbine producing electricity
2) two children sliding down a hill on a toboggan
3) a toaster oven browning a bagel
Homework Equations
There are no equations for this, just definitions for different types of energy!
- elastic potential energy - kinetic energy - electrical energy
- chemical potential energy - sound energy - radiant energy
- nuclear potential energy - thermal energy - gravitational potential energy
The Attempt at a Solution
These are what I think the answers may be:
1) Kinetic to electrical energy
2) kinetic energy to thermal energy
3) electrical energy to thermal energy
Im not entirely sure if these answers are correct. It would be much appreciated if someone could help me identify the other types of energy I may be missing in my answers.
