Question

In a sugar factory bagasse (the remains of the cane after the juice is extracted) is burned to provide electricity. The types of energy involved are W thermal energy X chemical energy Y electrical energy Z kinetic energy. In what order are these forms of energy converted in this process?A) WXZYB) XWZYC) WZXYD ZXWY

Answer 1

Given:

Thermal energy is denoted by W

Chemical energy is denoted by X

Electrical energy is denoted by Y

Kinetic energy is denoted by Z

To find the order of energy while converting bagasse to electricity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bagasse has chemical energy stored in it.

The bagasse is burned, so chemical energy gets converted into thermal energy.

The thermal energy gets converted into kinetic energy.

The kinetic results in the motion of electrons.

Thus, producing electrical energy.

Hence, the conversion order is XWZY
