-- A Bowling ball rolls off of a shelf. It spends some fraction of a second converting its gravitational
potential energy into kinetic energy, whereupon it dramatically expends all of its mechanical energy
upon impact with the floor.
-- Water pours over a waterfall. Its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy on its
way down to the valley below the falls. If you stick a waterwheel or turbine into the cascade in the right
way, you can rob some of the water's mechanical energy to generate electricity or grind wheat.

How can you convert chemical energy to mechanical energy?
By burning
What does an automobile engine convert chemical energy to?
Mechanical energy
How do you convert chemical to mechanical?
Coal is a chemical compound which contains chemical energy. To convert coal into mechanical energy, you use it (burn it) to produce heat and use the heat to boil water, the steam from which will drive a steam engine which delivers mechanical energy.
How is chemical energy transformed into heat?
Energy can only really be changed into other forms of energy. However, you can use energy to generate force, pressure, torque, etc. For example, when gasoline is burned in a car engine, chemical energy gets converted into mechanical energy (sort of like force times speed).
Does flashlights use electric chemical or mechanical energy?
They use chemical energy and it converts to electrical energy in the bulb and after becomes electomagnetic energy or radiant energy which is the light.
Is chemical energy an example of mechanical energy?
A combustion engine converts chemical energy in gasoline to mechanical energy in the engine.
Is the energy transformations in a car engine are an example of multiple transformations?
Yes. Chemical energy to mechanical and electrical energy and then mechanical energy to kinetic energy.
Is the energy transformations in a car's engine an example of multiple transformations?
Yes. Chemical energy to mechanical and electrical energy and then mechanical energy to kinetic energy.
What are examples of mechanical energy transformed into chemical energy?
There are many examples of how chemical energy can be transformed into mechanical energy. Perhaps the best known example is the combustion of gasoline in an engine to power an automobile.
Which energy is converted when you are cycling?
In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.
If the person can convert chemical energy to mechanical energy?
Chemical energy is energy produced by chemical reactions. Burning gasoline is one example. The reactions of materials in a battery that produce electricy are another. There are many such examples. Mechanical energy is energy of a mechanical system, such as a motor or engine. Examples are the automobile, the electric motor. and so on. Converting chemical energy to mechanical energy is what makes a car go.
What device converts chemical energy into mechanical energy?
The rocket engine is the device that converts chemical energy into the mechanical energy. A firecracker also converts chemical energy into mechanical energy.
Chemical energy-electrical energy- mechanical energy?
Chemical energy, electrical energy, and mechanical energy are different forms of energy.
What is this an example of - After lunch a boy rides his bike to his friends house?
Chemical energy transformed to mechanical energy.
How is chemical energy and mechanical energy different?
Mechanical energy is combination of potential and kinetic energy. Chemical energy is stored in an object.
Walking converts what type of energy into mechanical energy?

What transformation does grass go through in a food chain?
It goes from light energy from the sun to chemical energy to chemical, mechanical, and heat energy and the chemical energy can go to mechanical and heat energy. Then the remaining chemical energy goes to chemical, heat, and mechanical energy again and it keeps on repeating.
