Activity 6: To check further your knowledge about energy transformation, create a short story or write paragraph about energy transformations using the sequence of events below. Write your answer on the space provided below. 1 . 2. 3. 4. 5.
1. swinging pirate ship ride at a theme park. Kinetic energy is transferred into gravitational potential energy.
2.A boat being accelerated by the force of the engine. The boat pushes through the water as chemical energy is transferred into kinetic energy.
3.Bringing water to the boil in an electric kettle
4.Gravitational energy stored in the child at the top of the slide is transferred as mechanical work done to speed up and to do work against friction. The result of this is a shift of energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and internal energy (raising the temperature of the child and the slide).
5. 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.
