Lion on a clifs edge pounces onto a deer below and consumes it what are the three energy transformations

Sagot :

Answer:

Energy from the question above: is converted first from gravitational potential energy, to mechanical energy, then finally to chemical energy.

Gravitational potential energy— mechanical energy— chemical energy  

Explanation:

The Lion on the clifs edge, is above the earth's surface, has its energy stored in the form of gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy = mgh (m = mass, g = gravitational field, h = height). The lion pouncing on the deer now has mechanical energy which comprises the addition of the lion's potential energy and its kinetic energy. After consuming the deer, the energy is in chemical energy which is important to build molecules of glucose.
