Which of the following energy transformations occurs when you eat a hamburger?
the chemical energy in the food is converted to mechanical energy to give the body energy to move.

the chemical energy in the food is converted to sound energy to the body hear.

the chemical energy in the food is converted to nuclear energy to with digestion.

the chemical energy in the food is not converted and is lost when the food is eaten

The correct answer is (A) The chemical energy in the food is converted to mechanical energy to give the body energy to move.

The chemical energy in food can be converted to another form of chemical energy when it is stored as glucose or fat. The chemical energy in our food can also be converted to mechanical energy in the form of muscle movement and it provides us energy to travel and move from one place to another pace. The entire energy is not converted to mechanical though, it is also converted into heat energy.

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
