Mechanical energy can be easily converted to other types of energy. Thermal energy is, to a great extent, wasted energy - it can no longer be converted to other types of energy.

Is transforming mechanical energy into thermal energy easier than the other way around?
Yep
Why solar energy is better than thermal energy?
solar energy is better than thermal energy as it is an easy and convenient method solar energy is non polluting therefore it is better than thermal energy because thermal energy cause very much pollution and it is costly also but solar energy do not cause pollution and as we are obtaining it from sun so it is cheap also

Materials that transfer thermal energy by direct contact better than other materials are called?
Conductors
Will an object will be a net radiator of energy when its thermal energy is less than that of its surroundings?
No, an object will not be a net radiator of energy when its thermal energy is less than that of its surroundings. In this case, the object will instead absorb thermal energy from its surroundings in an attempt to reach thermal equilibrium.
Why do metal things feel colder than a bottle?
Because metal is a better conduct of thermal energy than plastic 😃
How do you convert mechanical energy to electrical energy?
A generator is used to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. A motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. Rather than try to explain the theory of how a generator can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy, click on the link below. It has a nice graphic with animation that will help you understand the theory better. http://www.wvic.com/how-gen-works.htm
Is thermal Pisces better than burn fireblaze?
burn fireblaze is better than thermal pieces
What are the seven different types of energies?
thermal nuclear chemicals mechanical light electrical sound
Why is coal a good energy source?
It is easily found and extracted, it burns easily and gives a good thermal energy output, better than wood for example.
Can electric energy produce more thermal energy?
It can be converted to thermal energy, but you can't get more energy out than you put in. The two different forms of energy must be equivalent, unless there is another source of thermal energy
Electrical energy transforms into what type of energy?
Three types? I can think of more than that. But I suppose if we group some together: there is mechanical energy, solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy. Thermal energy in a power station is transformed into mechanical energy so is covered by that. But then both wind energy and hydro energy convert to mechanical before the electricity is produced. So really at a fundamental level there seems only mechanical and solar. Mechanical would include fossil fuels, (coal, oil, natural gas,), nuclear, wind, incinerators, hydro, geothermal, and biomass, which all drive a mechanical device to produce the electricity. Solar produces electricity directly from photovoltaic cells so that is not mechanical.
