Is mechanical energy the energy of movement?
No. Potential energy relates to an objects position on the earth, specifically it's altitude. Mechanical energy is a form of kinetic energy but it can occasionally be considered "work done" in a more general sense
Is mechanical energy?
it is the energy acquired by the object upon which work is doneORenergy an object has because of its motion or positionORthe sum of kinetic and potential energy present at the same timeMechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.All energy can be expressed in Joules (including thermal energy). Mechanical energy is the result of a mechanical force, expressed in Newtons, multiplied by a distance in meters.MovementThe form of energy associated with the motion, position, or shape of an objects is called mechanical energy.
How is mechanical energy related to potential energy and to kinetic energy?
The relationship is that mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy plus potential energy. Think of a brick sitting on the edge of a table. The brick has potential energy proportional to the mass of the brick and the height of the table: E = m g h where m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration, h = height If the brick falls off the edge, it will begin to accelerate at g, the rate of gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s2). If v is the velocity of the brick, it has kinetic energy proportional to the quare of the velocity: E = (m v2)/2 Just before the brick finally hits the floor, all of its potential engergy has been converted to kinetic energy. During the moment of impact, that kinetic energy is converted to noise and vibration.
If gravity is the only force present what is the total mechanical energy of a book falling off a shelf at a time when its potential energy is 50 J and its kinetic energy is 60 J?
110
Does the activated complex have the highest kinetic energy?
No, the kinetic energy that was present before the collision will become potential energy.
If a roller coaster car is pulled by a chain at the beginning of the ride what kind of energy is present at this point?
The motor that drives the chain is being fuelled with electrical energy, which it converts into kinetic energy to move the chain. The chain supplies the rollercoaster carriage with kinetic energy and (hence why its harder to pull something up a slope) gravitational-potential energy. When the chain releases the carriage, and it speeds down the track, it converts its GPE into kinetic energy and thermal/sound wastes.
Wind moving wather and falling rocks are example of energy?
false. A strong west wind blowing across a region is an example of kinetic energy, not potential energy. Wind energy is kinetic energy that is present in moving air that is mean air horizontal movement produced its power
What is present in motor that convert electrical into mechanical energy?
just a bunch of gears...remember that a/c current is kinetic.
What is the definition of machanical energy?

What energy transformation occurs when an electrical fan turned on?
Electric energy to kitenic energy
What is what is kinetic energy?
Kinetic Energy is movement energy. The energy present in an object's movement. For example, if you run you convert chemical potential energy ( food eaten by you ) to the energy of running. It is often transfered from a potential energy.
What forms of energy are present when a softball is thrown into the air and hit?
Kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy
