Is burning coal mechanical energy?
Burning coal is thermal energy. It can be used to produce mechanical energy.
Is a fossil fuel an example of mechanical energy?
Fossil fuel in itself is simply an example of potential energy, which can be changed to mechanical energy by burning, thus changing from potential energy to heat energy and then to mechanical energy.
Which energy transformation takes place in a gasoline engine?
Burning the fuel releases chemical energy, this causes mechanical energy through the pressure created in the cylinder, which drives the pistons and hence the crankshaft.
If the person can convert chemical energy to mechanical energy?
Chemical energy is energy produced by chemical reactions. Burning gasoline is one example. The reactions of materials in a battery that produce electricy are another. There are many such examples. Mechanical energy is energy of a mechanical system, such as a motor or engine. Examples are the automobile, the electric motor. and so on. Converting chemical energy to mechanical energy is what makes a car go.
What kind of energy conversion is a child shivering in the cold?
Chemical (burning food) to mechanical (motion) to heat.
Is burning coal mechanical energy?
Burning coal is thermal energy. It can be used to produce mechanical energy.
How can you convert chemical energy to mechanical energy?
By burning
Describe the sequence of energy changes beginning with the sun and ending with burning wood for a campfire?
See, I don't exactly know if this is correct or not. The suns energy is mechanical energy and it shines down on some wood and starts heating it up. the wood starts burning and that is chemical energy. Check with someone else to make sure it is correct.
What kind of energy does a campfire fireworks and a burning candle all produce?
light and thermal energy
Is a fossil fuel an example of mechanical energy?
Fossil fuel in itself is simply an example of potential energy, which can be changed to mechanical energy by burning, thus changing from potential energy to heat energy and then to mechanical energy.
What types of energy transformation are occurring when a car is burning gasoline?
Chemical energy to mechanical energy
What is the energy transformation that occurs with the burning of fossil fuels?
Energy transformation involved in terms of industrial processes of burning fuel to make energy.
When you burn wood in a campfire what energy is change?
Burning wood is an example of chemical energy changing into heat and light energy. Energy is not destroyed, it simply changes from one form to another.
Does a candle or a campfire have more energy?
a campfire would have bunches more energy
Which energy transformation takes place in a gasoline engine?
Burning the fuel releases chemical energy, this causes mechanical energy through the pressure created in the cylinder, which drives the pistons and hence the crankshaft.
What do you get from natural gases?
By burning natural gas in a combustion engine, you get mechanical energy.
Is mechanical energy is a renewable energy?
Not in the literal sense of the words "Mechanical Energy". It depends on the source of the mechanical energy.If the source is renewable, like solar or wind generated electricity, then the mechanical energy is renewable.If the source is non-renewable, like electricity from burning oil, then it is non-renewable.
