Energy Transformation Cartoon
Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- Chemical energy is transformed to mechanical energy by processes like combustion in engines. When fuel burns the expanding gases push pistons and this movement is converted into mechanical energy to power vehicles or they can power machines.
- How is Chemical energy transformed into Mechanical energy?
- A chemical transformation is when thethe chemical identity of a molecule changes due to breaking and the making of chemical bonds. A mechanical transformation is when a mechanical object makes friction causing heat which is thermal energy.
- Slide: 2
- I heard you talked to John wanting to know about solar to light and sound to thermal. Solar energy is converted to light energy when sunlight strikes the cells, it generates an electric current, which can then be used for solar panels. Sound to thermal is when sound waves interact with a material, they cause the molecules in the material to start vibrating causing heat.
- Thank you!
- Slide: 3
- Thermal energy is converted to electrical energy by using a device like a thermoelectric generator converting heat into steam then it drives a turbine connected to a generator.
- Hey Mike what happens when nuclear energy is converted into electrical energy? How is mechanical energy converted to solar energy? The grand finale question has thermal energy transformed into electrical energy?
- Well you see when it's converted through Nuclear fission. When splitting atoms generate heat that heats water into steam, and the steam spins turbines attached to generators, producing electricity. Mechanical energy is converted to solar energy by creating systems that harness energy or convert it to electricity.
