When the electric fan is on and revolving what energy changes are shown?
Electric energy to mechanical energy, along with some to heat and sound.
What happens to energy that seems to be lost in an energy chain?
Energy is NEVER lost in an energy chain. It is simply converted into a different source of energy or matter. For example, in swing, a person would get on, and use mechanical energy to power it so it can move. What people don't realize is that on the top, the metal chains that hold the swing together also moves along with the swing. Up there, the mechanical energy that moves the chains a little, and friction starts to occur. But that's not it. Instead of helping with the movement below, frictional force above the swing causes energy to be somehow "lost" in the trail. That's not true at all. The energy "lost" is converted into heat in the process.
When you turn on a electric fan electrical energy changes into which kind of energy?
First changes into magnetic energy that leads to mechanical energy along with some heat energy
What are the differences between Conservation law of energy and Conservation law of Mechanical energy in Physics?
The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy in the universe is a constant and will remain so for example ( x=y+z ). conservation of energy has to do with reducing the amount of energy used through reduced activity and/or increased efficiency in the performance of a particular task.
How do you convert sound energy into mechanical energy using simple machines?
you can convert sound energy into mechanical energy by yelling into an empty plastic water jug. You will feel the walls of the container vibrating because of the sound waves hitting the walls of the jug. The walls vibrating are mechanical energy given to it by the sound energy. Sound energy is just an air wave. when the air waves run into something that vibrates along with it, the vibration of the thing is mechanical energy
What type of energy that is lost doing work is lost as what type of energy?
Usually thermal energy. This is true for all types of heat engines, ie gasoline or diesel engines, gas turbines, steam turbines, and so on. If you are talking about mechanical work like a system of levers, or pushing a weight along a surface, friction will be the cause of energy loss and this again will show as thermal energy loss (heat is produced at the points of friction)

Which has a greater mechanical advantage along or short wide wedge?
a long wedge has a greater mechanical energy then a short wide wedge.

Which wave type moves faster along the spring?
Well... waves on springs are caused by mechanical energy. You can't, for example, sent radio waves along a spring and see them. So answer: mechanical waves.

How is energy converted by plans during the process of photosynthesis?
The light energy from the sun changes into chemical energy (Sugar) which the plant feeds off along with water.
Are there two energies to strike a match?
Yes - mechanical energy to scrape the match along the side of the box, and then chemical energy to feed the flame.
What are three types of energy using water?
Water is used in hydroelectric energy production. The mechanical energy of moving water is transferred by a rotating turbine to a generator, where it is converted to electric energy and conveyed along transmission lines.
How is geo thermal energy maintained?
Radiant energy is energy 'in motion', 'in transit', much like 'heat' and 'work'. The energy that comes from the sun, does it as radiant energy. That energy can be stored as energy, but is 'radiant energy' no more. Solar water heaters capture the 'thermal radiation' coming from the sun and store it as thermal energy in water. The water molecules increase their translation, vibration and rotation energies which are components of what's referred as 'thermal energy ' of a body. The hotter the water gets (higher temperature), the more thermal energy it holds.
