Question

Difference between transferring and transforming

Answer 1

Answer 2

Energy transformation –– when energy is changed from one form / type to another; e.g. computer converting electrical energy into sound, light and heat energy

Energy transfer –– when energy is delivered from one object / thing to another (same energy); e.g. when a soccer player kicks a ball, the kinetic energy from the foot / body is transferred to the ball, causing it to move
