What are the various ways that people, nature, or machines convert on type of energy to another

1. Solar panels turn light energy from the sun into electricity.

2. Wind turbines turn wind energy into electrical energy.

3. Hydro electric dams turn potential energy of falling water into electricity energy.

4. Lamps turn electrical energy to light energy as they glow.

5. Toasters and heaters turn electrical energy into heat energy.

6. Nuclear power plants turn fission  energy to thermal energy then to electrical energy.

7. Light energy from the sun is converted into thermal energy when they make contact with lake, river or ocean water.

8. Plants turn light energy into potential chemical energy through photosynthesis.

9.A car engine turns chemical energy to mechanical energy that moves it along as it burns up petrol or diesel.

10. People turn potential chemical energy in digested food into heat energy to keep warm.

the dissolution of polymer can be thermodynamically described in 2 steps.
