I believe  it is Motion because some use fans, the other is radiant because no chemical reaction can occur or magnetic is required to dry hair and GP is just raising an object into the air. Choose Motion and Radiant

Answer: motion and radiant

Step-by-step explanation: From the law of conservation of energy, energy can not be created nor destroyed by may be transformed from one form to another.

Hair dryer is an example of a transducer which converts electrical energy to radiant (heat) and kinetic energy (motion).

Electrical energy entering the hair dryer is converted to kinetic energy as the small electric motor in the dryer moves the blades of the fan.

This kinetic energy is further converted into heat or thermal energy.

Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of molecules. Gravitational potential energy is due to position of an object. Magnetic energy is due to movement of electric charges.
