What is the importance of torque in cars?
Torque is a form of energy, rotational energy. Rotational energy ultimately turns the wheels on the road. The larger the torque the easier wheels turn against resistance. Rotation is also important in airplanes, windmills and ships. Torque T=FxR where F is the force and R is the radius of the "wheel." In general Energy is E= -FRcos x + FRsin x, Torque is FRsin x, the vector energy and FRcos x is called the "work energy". It would be more reasonable to call them real and vector energy, rather than work and torque and together they make quaternion energy.
What is the energy transformation in Water Wheels?
kinetic energy + elastic energy = electrical energy
What friction is the type of friction produced by wheels or ball bearings?
the friction produced by objects such as wheels or ball bearings is called rolling friction
What is the mechanical energy of the kinetic energy and potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy stored into something because of its height or its position. When you freewheel on your bike down a hill you are regaining the energy that you put into the bike and your own body as you cycled or walked your bike to the top of the hill.The spinning flywheel of an engine releases the kinetic energy which was put into it to speed it up, from the burning of fuel in its cylinders. The fuel contains chemical energy which is released when it burns.I have not heard of a mechanical type of energy, but it could be the energy which is put into a machine or the energy which the machine can provide.Other forms of energy are chemical energy (explosion), light energy (headlights), sound energy (radio), energy from the movement of air (windmills) or the movement of water (water wheels).
Want is the similarities and differences between transforming energy an a hydroelectric dam and a wind turbine?
Hydroelectric energy is generated by taking advantage of the difference in height of water behind and in front of a dam. This water has potential energy.The water is fed down huge pipes and into large turbines where the water spins the wheels of the turbines which in turn are attached to large electrical generators.The original potential energy of the water has thus been transformed into electrical energy, plus some heat and noise energy. Sun and rain will put the water back to allow the whole process to be repeated indefinitely.Wind turbines, just like windmills, harness the energy of the wind to do something useful. Early windmills were used to grind grain and pump water and many still do today. Modern wind turbines are used to generate renewable energy in the form of electricity.
What are wind wheels?
Like windmills.
What kind of energy do wheels use?
Rotational Energy which is due to mechanical energy of moving parts of the engine etc.
Why are wheeled useful for moving heavy objects?
Less surface area contacting the ground reduces friction. Wheels are useful for moving heavy objects so you don't hurt your back.
Explain how humans have changed the energy flow in ecosystems over the past 12000 years?
well we had put more industries and improve our electricity and build windmills, water wheels, etc.
How windmills generate eletricity?
The wind turns the wheels which connect to a genorator that genorates electricity with the turning motion.
How does a frictioal force acts on an object?
I believe you meant frictional and so i will answer that question instead. friction acts upon all moving objects unless they are in a perfect vacuum, friction causes moving objects to heat up as particles rub against each other and so vibrate, i will use a bike braking as an example. as the nike brakes the pds clamp on to the wheels, this makes the brake pads rub against the whell, the reason the bike stops or slows is because the kinetic energy is being converted to thermal energy by friction, and the squeal of the brakes is where the kinetic energy is converted to sound energy
What kind of wheels do cars have?
cars having moving wheels
Where to buy a moving dolly and how to put it together?
A dolly is a device with two wheels that helps lift and move heavy objects such as appliances. You can purchase that at home depot or lowes stores.
How do you keep my legs straight when i do windmill?
BE MORE FLEXIBLE!DO CART WHEELS!!! EXERCISE!! Once your flexible. Do windmills with your legs straight

How do you make wheels out of everyday objects?
By figuring out a way.
What are some example of mechanical energy?
Sometimes you have to think carefully as to where exactly one form of energy is transformed into another form. Take an internal combustion (gasoline or diesel) engine. The fuel is a chemical, it is introduced into the combustion chamber and burned to produce heat, so that is chemical energy converted to thermal energy. The thermal energy causes the gas in the cylinder head to expand and drive the piston down, so then it is converted to mechanical energy, which can be defined as a force moving a certain distance. From then on the piston drives the connecting rod which turns the crankshaft which turns the transmission which turns the vehicle wheels. These are all examples of mechanical energy. Eventually this energy is turned partly into kinetic energy, whilst the mechanical energy goes on being expended in overcoming wind resistance and tyre friction on the road.
