The diagram below represents a flashlight that has been turned on. Which form of energy is being converted to electrical energy by the batteries in the flashlight?

Chemical energy to electrical energy

Explanation:

In nature, there are several types of energy.

In this example (a flashlight being turned on), we have a conversion of energy from chemical energy to electrical energy. In fact:

- Chemical energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the molecules of the substances used inside the battery. When the chemical reaction inside the battery occurs, this energy is liberated, and it is used to "push" the electrons along the circuit connected to the battery

- Electric energy is the energy associated to the motion of the electrons along the circuit of the flashlight; it is the energy associated to an electric current.

Moreover, in the flashlight the electric energy is then converted into two more types of energy: light energy (since the bulb in the flashlight produces light) and heat energy (because the flashlight also produces heat, so thermal energy).

write a paragraph or story to explain the transformation between potential and kinetic energy as shown in your picture or model.  

you should have at least 5 complete sentences with a main idea and supporting details.  

you must include the following words:  

potential energy

kinetic energy

mechanical energy

conservation of energy

dude, this is hard lol : ))

waves moving from a fast medium to a slow medium will experience a reflection as light travels more slowly than red light. total internal reflection occurs when the critical angle is.
