By burning the coal. The stored chemical eneregy is converted to heat energy. That may be used to create steam. Expanding steam pushes a piston or turbine, converting the heat energy to mechanical energy.

Is burning coal mechanical energy?
Burning coal is thermal energy. It can be used to produce mechanical energy.
The energy in petroleum and coal is stored as?
Mechanical
In an electric mixer electrical energy is changed into?
motion, mechanical energy
Can mechanical energy changed to heat energy?
Yes.
How do you convert chemical to mechanical?
Coal is a chemical compound which contains chemical energy. To convert coal into mechanical energy, you use it (burn it) to produce heat and use the heat to boil water, the steam from which will drive a steam engine which delivers mechanical energy.
How energy can change?
It changes from one form into another routinely. Electrical energy changes into mechanical energy (and heat) in an electric motor. Light energy changes into electrical energy (and heat) in a solar cell. Chemical energy (in coal for example) is changed into heat energy (when the coal is burned) which can raise steam under pressure to drive a turbine, converting most of the the heat energy to mechanical energy, which then drives a generator to convert the mechanical energy to electrical energy. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but changes from one form to another.
Do cars use chemical energy?
Yes. Chemical energy, changed to heat energy, changed to mechanical energy.
What is electric energy changed into when a motor is turned on?
Mechanical energy.
When was mechanical energy discovered by man?
mechanical do you mean electric coal or any motion.because catapults could be considered mechanical
Do Large generators often get their mechanical energy from steam?
Coal
The type of energy stored by fossil fuels such as coal is?
mechanical energy
How is Electrical energy is changed into mechanical energy?
Through electric motors
