Mechanical energy!!!
What are the 8 main types of energy?
1: chemical energy 2: electromagnetic energy 3: thermal energy 4: nuclear energy 5: mechanical energy 6: electrical energy 7: potential energy 8: kinetic energy
Formula for mechanical energy?
potential energy+kinetic energy=mechanical energy
Mechanical energy is found by kinetic energy and potential energy.?
Mechanical energy is the combination of a system's total kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of movement, is possessed by any objects in motion, and is given by the equation K = (1/2)mv^2. Potential energy has several types, including potential energy due to height (gravitational potential energy) and due to the tension inherent to a spring (elastic potential energy). Ug = mgh, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Ue = (1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the distance the spring is stretched in meters. Although the universe follows the Law of Conservation of Energy, mechanical energy is not necessarily conserved. This means that mechanical energy can transform into other types of energy and vice versa. For example, when a machine operates, some mechanical energy is lost to heat energy. The ratio of mechanical energy conserved to the energy lost to thermal energy is known as efficiency, and no machines have 100% efficiency (no heat loss). On the other hand, non-mechanical energy such as electrical energy can convert to kinetic energy in situations when the electric potential of a capacitor powers the movement of a particle through the capacitor.
What two types of energy can make up the mechanical energy of an object?
A generator transforms mechanical energy into electricity, by spinning a magnet in a coil.The regenerative braking system in hybrid cars similarly transforms the braking mechanical energy into electricity.Please see the related links for details.
What are the types of digestion?
Chemical digestion and mechanical digestion
What is the mechanical energy on an object?
Mechanical energy is essentially the sum of the potential and kinetic energies acting on a system. In an ideal situation where all forces are conservative, mechanical energy remains constant. NOTE: Potentia Energy (PE) = (mass) * (height in meters) * (9.802 m/s^2) NOTE: Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 * (mass) * (velocity)^2 NOTE: Mechanical Energy (ME) = PE + KE
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.
What is the energy you use to run machines?
There are several ways to power a machine. For a battery it uses chemical energy and for a car battery it uses chemical energy. There are 2 types of energy:Potential energy and Kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy waiting to be released. and kinetic energy is energy of motion. There are 7 diffrent types of energy: Mechanical, Thermal, Chemical, electrical, sound and Nuclear energy.
Is it true transverse and congressional waves are the two types of mechanical waves?
No. The 2 types of mechanical waves are transverse waves & longitudinal waves
What are seven types of energy?
