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.


What are all the energy changes?

There are many different ways that energy changes. For example electrical energy can transform into heat energy, cold energy or light energy. Other energies and their changes can include gravitational, chemical, mechanical and kinetic.


What are examples of mechanical energy being transformed into electrical or heat energy?

Any device or process that needs batteries or that needs to be "plugged in" to move is an example of electrical energy being converted into mechanical energy. Some examples: - Starting a car - Running a washer/dryer - A moving fan - Playing a record or CD


How energy can change?

It changes from one form into another routinely. Electrical energy changes into mechanical energy (and heat) in an electric motor. Light energy changes into electrical energy (and heat) in a solar cell. Chemical energy (in coal for example) is changed into heat energy (when the coal is burned) which can raise steam under pressure to drive a turbine, converting most of the the heat energy to mechanical energy, which then drives a generator to convert the mechanical energy to electrical energy. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but changes from one form to another.


The body changes chemical energy to what?

The body changes chemical energy to mechanical energy to power muscle contractions and movement.


What is an example of heat energy converting to mechanical energy?

An example of heat energy converting to mechanical energy is a steam engine. In a steam engine, heat energy from burning fuel is used to boil water and produce steam. The expanding steam pushes against pistons, creating mechanical energy that can be used to power machinery.


Can you convert mechanical energy to heat energy?

Absolutely a simple example is the engine.


What are the practical application Mechanical equivalent of heat?

The Mechanical Equivalent of Heat shows the relationship between mechanical work and heat energy. It has practical applications in the study of thermodynamics and energy conversion processes. For example, it helps in understanding how engines and other mechanical systems can convert heat energy into useful work.


What is an example of heat energy to mechanical energy?

toaster


Is a toaster an example of mechanical energy?

No, a toaster is an appliance that transforms electrical energy into heat energy. It does not involve mechanical energy directly in its operation.


When you turn on a electric fan electrical energy changes into which kind of energy?

First changes into magnetic energy that leads to mechanical energy along with some heat energy


Can heat energy change into mechanical energy?

It will still be heat energy, but it can be converted to mechanical energy
