Yes the end of the match is being rubbed on the material on the side of the match box causing enough friction to start the match burning.

Is there any work done when you ignite the match stick?

work_done = force x distance In igniting a match a force is applied to push the match a distance along the box, thus work is done.


When you ignite a matchstick then work will be done or not?

no work will be done because force is applied but displacement is zero so no work will be done.


Is there any work done when you ignite a matchstik?

Yes.


What reaction happens when we ignite a match stick?

That depends on whether you are considering the work done to overcome the force of static friction between the match head and the striking paper. Other than that, as I understand it, after you have heated part of the chemical compound on the match head sufficiently so that it combusts, the heat it outputs then affects the chemicals in close proximity heating them to the point of combustion. I'm not sure you could consider that chemical reaction to be work done, but you could argue it outputs energy.


When the match stick is struck against the match box it gets lit what energy is converted into light and heat?

The energy of mechanical work is converted into light and heat energy when a match stick is struck against a matchbox. Friction between the match head and the rough surface ignites the match head, producing light and heat as a result.


Why is work done in striking match?

When a match is struck, the friction between the match head and the striking surface produces heat, igniting the match head due to the heat-sensitive chemicals present. This process requires work to break the chemical bonds in the match head and generate enough heat for combustion to occur.


What if a goalies stick is to thick?

Then it makes it hard to flex the stick, which will make it harder to shoot the puck and also lower the accuracy. It will also be heavier than a normal stick, which will make it tougher and more tiring to work with during a training or match.

What instrument measures how much work is being done to move an object?

A spring scale and a meter stick. Spring scale may be used to find force exerted. Meter stick finds distance through which force was exerted.
