How is chemical and mechanical energy the same?
Chemical energy appears as heat, such as burning coal with oxygen.Mechanical energy is the result of a force being generated
How is coal energy stored?
the coal is designed to absorb heat at when heat hits it it stores that heat ++++ No. The energy is stored by coal simply being a combustible material, so it contains potential chemical energy.
When coal is burned stored energy is being released in the form of?
Heat
What is the purpose of coal?
coal is used for fires,heat,and etc.
What can a burning coal do for a power palnt?
burning coal releases heat, and that heat turns a turbine, which generates electricity.

How is coal helpful to humans?
Coal is a fossil fuel,that is being used to produce electricity and heat.
When coal is burned stored energy is being released in the form of?
Heat
Where did the energy in coal originate?
Not sure if this will answer your question, but I'll give it a shot. It's less about the fact that is is coal and more about the fact that coal gives off heat. When coal was first being used as a heat source, it was cheaper than wood and there was a lot of it. So really the origin of the energy is in the heat that the coal generates when on fire and less about the coal itself.
How do power plants release the energy in coal?
They burn it. It's the heat and expanding gases from the coal being burned which provides the energy.
Does coal consist of volcanic material?
No. Coal is the result of organic material, primarily plant matter from bogs, being chemically altered by heat and pressure, leaving being mostly carbon.
How much force is required to make coal into diamonds?
Diamonds are not made from coal. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle under enormous pressure and extreme heat, from carbon.
What fossil is being replaced with hydro?
Hmmmm, not sure. It could be coal, oil, or natural gas. But since hydro generates electricity and coal makes heat and electricity, so I think its coal.
Does coal heat homes?
It can in coal/wood stoves.
What is coal used for in Zimbabwe?
coal in Zimbabwe is used for many reasons. Some of them being heat (although that is not needed much in Zimbabwe) and most of it for electrical power in Zimbabwe.
How is coal converted into usable energy?
it is formed by being burned which causes heat, which can also be converted into motion energy.
