Michael planted a tomato plant that produces very juicy tomatoes. When the tomatoes began to ripen, Michael picked a tomato to eat in a salad. Michael ate the
salad with the tomato at lunch. Later that afternoon, he ran 2 miles during PE and was
sweating at the finish line. How many total energy transformations does this scenario
demonstrate?
1 (potential to kinetic)
2 (chemical to potential,
potential to thermal)
3 (solar to chemical, chemical
to kinetic, kinetic to thermal)
4(chemical to potential
potential to kinetic, kinetic to
nuclear, nuclear to thermal)

3 (solar to chemical, chemical to kinetic, kinetic to thermal)

Explanation:

Michael ate a salad. The salad which he consumes becomes chemical energy, but the tomato he put in his salad has used solar energy, which is simply energy from the sun. The kinetic energy is when he runs 2 miles as kinetic energy is the energy gained from movement. When he stops running, he sweats, which means he is losing heat from his body, therefore the kinetic energy store transfers to the thermal (internal) energy store.

I hope this helps!! ^-^
