Question

A natural gas stove transforms R energy into P energy. What do R and P most likely represent?

A. R represents chemical energy, P represents thermal energy

B. R represents thermal energy, P represents chemical energy

C. R represents potential energy, K represents electrical energy

D. R represents electrical energy, K represents potential energy

Answer 1

A. R represents chemical energy; P represents thermal energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A. R represents chemical energy; P represents thermal energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecules in the gas contain chemical energy (R).

When the gas burns, the chemical energy is released as heat, or thermal energy (P).
