Frye · Answer 1

Chemical energy to Electrical energy Chemical energy to Mechanical/Kinetic energy Kinetic energy to heat energy

Explanation:

When Lucas puts new batteries in the controller, the chemical energy of the battery would be converted to the electrical energy in a closed circuit. This will give the radio signal to the car to start its motor. When the motor will start, chemical energy would then be converted to mechanical energy. Finally, when the car will be running on the floor, the kinetic energy would be dissipated in the form of heat energy due to friction effect.
