Question

what energy changes are associated with lighting a candle? (mention what kind of kinetic energy or potential kinetic energy are involved)

Answer 1

Lets first start with match stick. The matches hold energy that is stored with it, thes is called potential energy, this energy holds the potential to be used - When the match was struck it turned into kinetic energy, the energy of moving objecte Now come to candler Candle_have_two main component : wax and wick Generally we know that candle burn to give of heat light and chemical products. Heat a flame . Burning condle give off flame. Prome from heart travels in all direction at once by process called conduction, convection and radiation. So, we can say heat is here in form of kinetic energy. Light is also form of kinetic energy. The wax posses potential energy which undergo chemical change by burning to give off heat, light & chemical waste product (CO2 and H20)
