Question

solar - powered cars use energy from the sun to work. a panel on the car absorbs light energy from the sun, which then generates an electric current. this electric current, in turn, allows the car to move. which shows the correct order of energy transformations that take place in a solar - powered car?

• electrical, chemical, kinetic
• electrical, kinetic, radiant
• radiant, electrical, mechanical
• radiant, chemical, electrical

Explanation:

The solar - panel on the car absorbs light energy (radiant energy) from the Sun. This radiant energy is converted into electrical energy which generates an electric current. The electric current then allows the car to move, which is a form of mechanical energy.

Answer:

radiant, electrical, mechanical
