Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The clock now has potential energy. When the alarm rings, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and sound energy.

Alarm clock runs due to the electrical energy. Due to the electric current, the electric motor rotates the blade. It means that the electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy.

The mechanical energy finally generates vibrations which cause sound.

Thus, energy transformation which takes place in alarm clock will follow the order-

Electrical to mechanical to sound.
