Explanation:

Step1: Analyze turning on a battery - operated light

A battery has chemical potential energy. When the light is turned on, it emits light (radiant energy). So, chemical potential energy is transformed into radiant energy.

Step2: Analyze a child going down a slide

The child at the top of the slide has gravitational potential energy. As the child moves down the slide, this energy is converted into kinetic energy. So, gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

Step3: Analyze using a gas - power heater

Gas has chemical potential energy. When the heater is used, it warms the room, which is thermal energy. So, chemical potential energy is transformed into thermal energy.

Step4: Analyze rubbing hands together

When hands are rubbed, the motion (kinetic energy) causes the hands to warm up (thermal energy). So, kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy.

Step5: Analyze using a hand - crank generator

Cranking the generator involves motion (kinetic energy), and it produces electric current (electric energy). So, kinetic energy is transformed into electric energy.

Step6: Analyze using a wall - plugged light

The wall - outlet provides electrical energy, and the light emits light (radiant energy). So, electrical energy is transformed into radiant energy.

Step7: Analyze shooting a rubber band

A stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy. When it is shot, it moves (kinetic energy). So, elastic potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

Step8: Analyze electrical energy to kinetic energy

An electric motor (not explicitly given in the scenarios but conceptually) takes electrical energy and converts it into kinetic energy. For example, in an electric fan, electrical energy makes the blades rotate (kinetic energy).

Answer:

• Chemical potential energy transformed into radiant energy: Turning on a battery - operated light
• Gravitational potential energy transformed into kinetic energy: A child going down a slide on a playground
• Elastic potential energy transformed into kinetic energy: A boy shooting a rubber band across the classroom
• Chemical potential energy transformed into thermal energy: Using a gas power heater to warm a room
• Electrical energy transformed into radiant energy: Using the light in your room that is plugged into the wall
• Kinetic energy being transformed into thermal energy: Rubbing your hands together to warm them on a cold day
• Electrical energy transformed into kinetic energy: (No direct scenario given but conceptually like an electric fan)
• Kinetic energy transformed into electric energy: Using a hand - crank generator to produce electric current
