V. Find out the change in energy that takes place in the following:
1. Torchlight: Chemical energy to heat energy
2. Radio: Electrical energy to sound energy.
3. Iron (box): Electrical energy to Heat energy
4. Generator: Chemical energy to sound energy
VII. Explore and answer :
1.We know that we need energy when we go to school by bicycle while playing or doing any
work. How do definite the energy used in these activities? What is its unit?
6. The coconut in the picture possesses three types of energy. Can you find out what they
are?
1. Explain the law of conservation of mass.
Energy can neigther be created nor destroyed, but can be transformed from one
form into another. This is called the Law of conservation of energy.
To operate the electric motor electrical energy is used. This electrical energy is
converted into kinetic energy, sound energy and heat energy.

Energy is defined as the capacity to do work.

The primary source of hear energy is the sun.
Heat is a form of energy given by Joule.
Solar cells are used in artificial satellites and calculators.
During photosynthesis plants convert solar energy to chemical energy.

V. Give reason for the following:

1. Give reason for the free flow of water from a tank.
The water stored with tank possesses potential energy.
From a height the water flows down freely converting potential in to kinetic energy.
2. Give reason for the quick drying clothes.
Suns heat energy absorbs water continuously and hence the clothes dried quickly.
3.The thin sheet of paper can be burnt using a magnifying lens.
The magnifying lens focuses sunlight intensively on the paper increasing heat energy
to burn the paper.
