Mechanical energy be converted to thermal energy?
rubbing handsMechanical energy converted to thermal energy
How is mechanical energy better than thermal energy?
Mechanical energy can be easily converted to other types of energy. Thermal energy is, to a great extent, wasted energy - it can no longer be converted to other types of energy.
When mechanical energy is lost due to friction it becomes?
It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
What can thermal energy convert into?
Thermal energy can be converted into alot of things just go find out what it is.
Which type of energy is the mechanical energy of the car converted?
Most of it will be converted to heat, via friction.
What kind of energy in car engine?
Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.
What kind of energy is used in a hair dryer?
Electrical energy is converted into thermal and mechanical energy
How much thermal energy is produced in an electric motor j of electrical energy are converted into 92j of mechanical energy?
If 92 J of electrical energy are converted into 92 J of mechanical energy in an electric motor, then all of the electrical energy is being converted into mechanical energy. No thermal energy is being produced in this scenario. The efficiency of the motor in this case is 100%, meaning all the input energy is being converted into useful work without any energy loss in the form of heat.
When gasoline is converted to thermal energy Most thermal energy is then converted to mechanical energy What happens to the rest of the thermal energy?
The rest of the thermal energy is typically lost as waste heat, which is dissipated into the surrounding environment. This heat energy is not harnessed to do work and is considered a form of energy loss in the system.
Mechanical energy to thermal energy?
Rub your hands together and they feel warm, right? That's it, rubbing your hands is using mechanical energy, which is by friction then converted to thermal energy (heat).
What energy transformations happen in a car engine?
In a car engine, the chemical energy stored in the gasoline is converted to thermal energy through combustion. The thermal energy is then converted to mechanical energy as the pistons move and drive the vehicle. Finally, the mechanical energy is transferred to the wheels to propel the car forward.
Mechanical energy that has been 'lost' to friction isn't really lost It just is no longer in its mechanical form?
When mechanical energy is lost to friction, it is converted into thermal energy due to the heat generated by the friction. This thermal energy dissipates into the surroundings, which is why the original mechanical energy is no longer in its mechanical form.
