In most energy transfers,
some energy is turned into

When a hair dryer is being used, one of
the energy transformations that takes
place is
electrical to chemical.
electrical to mechanical.
mechanical to electrical.
chemical to electrical.
The major reason for burning gasoline in
an automobile engine is to convert
Chemical energy to mechanical energy.
Kinetic energy to potential energy.
Radiation to electrical energy.
Thermal energy to electrical energy.
