Hands moving on a battery operated clock is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
When a person climbs stairs what form of energy is being converted into gravitational potential energy?
Energy stored in your muscles, which ultimately comes from the food you eat.
How is coal converted into usable energy?
it is formed by being burned which causes heat, which can also be converted into motion energy.
Can mechanical energy power light bulbs?
Not without being converted into electrical energy.
An example of energy being converted from one form to another?
photosyntisis light energy to chemical energy
What energy is created from the wind?
In the turbine, mechanical energy is created. After being converted through a special generator, electrical energy is created.
What is a 2nd law of energy?
You must be referring to the two Laws of Thermodynamics. Stated in terms of energy: 1. The First Law of Thermodynamics is the Law of Conservation of Energy, meaning that energy can not be created or destroyed. 2. However, useful energy is continuously being converted into unusable energy. This is irreversible. This is the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
What is an example of solar energy being converted into chemical energy?
Green plants producing sugars is an example of solar engery being converted into chemical energy.
Why is a roller coaster not in the first law of thermodynamics?
Actually it is. The first law of thermodynamics tells us that you have to put energy into the roller coaster (in this case in the form of work) to get it to the top of the first hill; getting it to the top increases its potential energy. Once it starts moving down, most of that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it moves around the track. Over the course of its circuit of the track, energy is continuously converted back and forth between potential and kinetic energy - with some energy also being converted to heat through friction with the rails and with the air. Energy is conserved - thus we see the first law obeyed.

it is formed by being burned which causes heat, which can also be converted into motion energy.
What kind of energy in car engine?
Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.
Is sugar being converted into energy after photosynthesis?
a oten
What energy is being converted when the sun gives energy to solar panels?
Anywhere from 10-23% of sunlight is converted into "usable" electricity.
How is stored chemical energy converted into thermal energy when coal is burned to make steam?
It's converted by the coal being burned.
Can mechanical energy power light bulbs?
Not without being converted into electrical energy.
