Lighting a match is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
A. Chemical potential energy being converted to heat energy
B. Chemical potential energy being converted to kinetic energy
C. Gravitational potential energy being converted to heat energy
D. Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
When you strike a match, it moves through the air until it rubs against a surface. The rubbing produces the heat required to light the match. This is a transformation from mechanical energy to thermal (heat) energy.
