Some ways that energy transfer occurs are: radiation, heat conduction, convection, electrical power transmission and mechanical work. In Science, the Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can be transformed, it can't be created or destroyed.

1.
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when you drop a ball?
Kinetic → potential
Kinetic → sound
Potential → kinetic
Potential → thermal
The ball has potential (stored) energy due to gravity
2.
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when a cyclist brakes to stop?
Kinetic → elastic
Kinetic → potential
Kinetic → thermal
Thermal → kinetic
The thermal (heat) energy is produced by friction
3.
Which is the MAIN energy transfer in a solar cell on a calculator?
Electrial → light
Light → electrical
Light → kinetic
Light → thermal
4.
Which is the MAIN energy transfer in a loudspeaker?
Electrical → sound
Electrical → thermal
Sound → electrical
Sound → thermal
5.
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when a wind-up clockwork toy is released?
Elastic → kinetic
Elastic → potential
Kinetic → elastic
Kinetic → sound
6.
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when a light bulb is switched on?
Electrical → light
Electrical → sound
Light → electrical
Light → thermal
7.
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when using a microphone?
Electrical → sound
Electrical → thermal
Sound → electrical
Sound → thermal
A microphone converts sound into an electrical signal. This is then passed to a speaker which reverses the process
8.
Which is the MAIN energy transfer taking place when a gas fire burns?
Chemical → sound
Chemical → thermal
Thermal → chemical
Thermal → light
The energy stored in gas is chemical, light is also produced but is not the main product
9.
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when a ball rolls UP a ramp?
Kinetic → potential
Kinetic → thermal
Potential → kinetic
Potential → sound
As the ball rolls up, it gains potential energy due to gravity
10.
Which is the MAIN energy transfer taking place when a candle burns?
Chemical → light
Chemical → sound
Light → chemical
Thermal → chemical
Thermal energy is also produced
