Question

What energy transformation occurs when a battery-powered toy car is set into motion when it is switched on? (5 points) chemical to mechanical to electrical electrical to mechanical to chemical electrical to chemical to mechanical chemical to electrical to mechanical

Answer 1

chemical energy to electrical energy to kinetic energy

Answer 2

The energy transformation occurring when a battery-powered toy car is set into motion when switched on is chemical to electrical to mechanical.

• When a remote-controlled toy car begins to move, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
• A battery has chemical energy stored within it.
• When switched on, the circuit within the toy car closes.
• This causes the chemical energy to be converted to electrical potential energy.
• When the remote is pressed to make the toy car move, this potential energy is converted to mechanical kinetic energy.
• In this way, energy transformation takes place from chemical to electrical to mechanical.
