Give a specific example of a system with the energy transformation W→K . In this question, W is the work done on the system by the environment, and K and U are the kinetic and potential energies of the system, respectively. Any form of energy not mentioned in the transformation is assumed to remain constant. As part of your response, identify the objects that are in the system.

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
