Question

Lighting a match is easy when the match is quickly rubbed across a piece of
sandpaper. Which best describes the sequence of energy transformations that take
place to light a match?
Light energy to heat energy
Heat and light energy to
mechanical energy
Chemical energy to
mechanical energy to light
energy to chemical energy
Mechanical energy to heat
energy and then chemical
energy to light and heat
energy

Answer 1

Answer:

Mechanical energy to heat energy and then chemical energy to light and heat energy.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy (the match in motion), to heat energy (the match creating friction with the sandpaper), and then chemical energy (the phosphorous sulfide in the match head reacting to the friction), to light and heat energy (the flame). I hope this helps. :)
