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.

How do the forms of potential energy kinetic energy non-mechanical also mechanical energy related to each other?
Mechanical energy comprises of both potential and kinetic energy. For example- Flying kite
10 example of mechanical energy?
people are energy hi peoples jake the giraffe
What is an example of converting chemical energy into thermal energy?
Combustion (fire or burning) is arguably the most common example of converting chemical energy into thermal energy. But consider that all animals create a bit of thermal energy converting chemical energy into heat (as well as some mechanical energy) when they move.
Give you 2 examples of each type of energy?
chemical energy example, car battery, food, fuel Stored mechanical energy example, stretching or compressing a spring or rubber band
Chemical energy-electrical energy- mechanical energy?
Chemical energy, electrical energy, and mechanical energy are different forms of energy.
Is a fossil fuel an example of mechanical energy?
Fossil fuel in itself is simply an example of potential energy, which can be changed to mechanical energy by burning, thus changing from potential energy to heat energy and then to mechanical energy.
What is Smoke is an example of an?
Smoke is an example of mechanical energy and heat energy. This is because the internal motion of atoms is called heat energy and mechanical energy is energy associated with motion. Smoke contains atoms moving which is both an example of heat and mechanical energy.
Why do you us mechanical energy?
An example is, if you get on a bus, it needs mechanical energy to go to its destination.
How do you use mechanical energy in a sentence?
You can see an example of mechanical energy when an earthquake happens.
What are example of electrical to mechanical?
An electric motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.
Falling water is an example of what energy?
mechanical energy
Is chemical energy an example of mechanical energy?
A combustion engine converts chemical energy in gasoline to mechanical energy in the engine.
What and an example of mechanical energy?
An elevator
What is an example of the transfer from thermal energy to mechanical energy?
steam engine mechanism.(converts thermal energy to mechanical.)
If energy cant be created why is some energy called mechanical?
Mechanical energy means that associated with mechanical forces, driving your car through its transmission for example. This has to be derived from some source of potential energy, chemical for example like the burning of gasoline, from falling water as in hydro power, or from fission of uranium. The energy is there locked up in the medium concerned and not being used, until we introduce some way of releasing it.
Example of light energy to mechanical energy?
its when you play a sport
What is an example of mechanical energy to radiant energy?
