Science question on energy?

Question

1. What is an example of thermal energy?
(ex. an example of kinetic energy would be a bouncing ball)
2. How is chemical energy related to chemical change?

Answer 1

1. The warming of bread by your toaster uses thermal energy.
2. There is energy in the bonds that hold atoms together in chemical compunds. As those bonds change in chemical reaction, the energy in those bonds must be accounted for in new bonds, or in heat gained or lost in the reaction.

Answer 2

One simple example of thermal energy is the solar heating of a black asphalt parking lot. On a hot summer day, when looking across the parking lot, you can see what appears to be a mirage. That is heat collecting from the hot surface. When enough heat is transmitted into space it can bring on a sudden gust of wind in a small area. A good example of that is in the desert, where dust devils are formed. These look like a miniature tornado.
The chemical energy is most of the time unhealthy. When a black asphalt surface collects the solar heat it has poor emission and slow transmission. It also causes air pollution from the oils and other chemicals that make up the asphalt. In the desert, there is little or no chemical change, because of the light color of sand. The chemical energy is related to chemical change by its related elements emitted into the atmosphere.

Answer 3

Thermal energy is hard to give an example of because it is associated with the random movements of molecules and atoms. An example that might help you to understand it is that a cup of coffee at 70 degrees C has less thermal energy than a bath tub full of water at 40 degrees C. This is because thermal energy is not only dependent on temperature but also on mass and volume.
Chemical energy is released, stored, or converted to other forms of energy, when chemical reactions occur.

Answer 4

Go question I have always pondered were energy came from?

In the First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy cannot be created or destroyed. In the beginning to the Big Bang, there is nothing (zero-matter) present to explode, and zero energy to explode it. There are zero observations, or documented test results for spontaneous generation, let alone matter from nothing.

Expecting to have matter, and energy just show up, when none is present is like taking an absolutely empty box, and after billions of years, or any other amount of time, expect to open that box, and inside have a operational world in all its complexity. Spontaneous generation something out of nothing, used to support the Big Bang is in direct conflict with the first scientific Law of Thermodynamics.
