Question

What is the most likely evidence of an energy transformation taking place when a hot plate that has a beaker containing a solid wax placed on it is turned on?

A) wax starts melting as kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy

B) beaker starts moving as kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy

C) wax starts melting as kinetic energy is transformed into gravitational energy

D) beaker starts moving as kinetic energy is transformed into gravitational energy

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when it melts it is kinetic so it is thermal because if you touch melting was you will see its kind of hot.

Answer 2

It is A, (Wax starts melting as kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it helps.
