Mechanical energy means that associated with mechanical forces, driving your car through its transmission for example. This has to be derived from some source of potential energy, chemical for example like the burning of gasoline, from falling water as in hydro power, or from fission of uranium. The energy is there locked up in the medium concerned and not being used, until we introduce some way of releasing it.

How various types of energy can be transformed?

Energy can be transformed from one form to another through processes like burning fuel to release chemical energy as heat, converting mechanical energy to electrical energy in a generator, and transforming solar energy into electrical energy through photovoltaic cells. These transformations follow the laws of thermodynamics, which dictate that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another.


Who discovered the Law of Coservation of Energy?

a matter that cant be created or destroyed. it can change form but have a fixed volume.


Is it possible to remove solar energy?

You cant remove the energy because energy cannot be created nor destroyed. But you can be in a place that doesn't receive it.


Is thermal energy created or used?

neither, Law of conservation of energy in a nutshell: energy cant be created or destroyed. Energy can be converted nothing else. IE: when you burn a candle you are CONVERTING the chemical energy stored in the candle into thermal energy.

What kind of waves are mechanical?

Those waves which required medium for propagation are called mechanical waves. e.g sound waves,they need medium i.e solid liquid or gas ,to propagate. They cant travel through vacuum. hope u understand that!!


What energy can change from on form to another but cant be created or destroyed?

The energy that can change from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed is known as "energy conservation." According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy in a closed system remains constant over time, even as it may change forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, or chemical energy.


If energy cant be created or destroyed how come people say not to waste energy?

People say it in the sense of that we use it flawlessly and carelessly. We are not doing any good activities at all.


What law says energy cant be created or destroyed?

The law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed is the First Law of Thermodynamics, also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy. This law states that energy can only change forms or be transferred from one object to another, but the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant.
