Question

What energy transformation happens in a toaster?

A. Mechanical -> thermal

B. Thermal -> chemical

C. Mechanical -> electrical

D. Electrical -> thermal

What is an example of kinetic energy?

A. A ball lodged in a tree

B. A car in the garage

C. A frisbee flying through the air

D. A box sitting on a shelf

Answer 1

1 is electrical to thermal, it uses electricity to create thermal heat. 
2 is a frisbee flying through the air, kinetic energy is energy in motion.

Answer 2

Answer: 1. Option (D) is the correct answer.

              2. Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a toaster, electrical energy is supplied from the power outlet. This energy then converts or we can say transforms into heat energy due to which the toast gets roasted.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, electrical energy to thermal energy transformation happens in a toaster.

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed due to the motion of an object.

Here, out of the given options, a frisbee flying through the air shows motion. Hence, it will have maximum energy.

Whereas a ball lodged in a tree, a car in the garage , and a box sitting on a shelf all are not in motion.
