What is is the most common source of mechanical energy used in commercial power plants?
Steam turbines
What else can I help you with?
What is a common use of mechanical energy?
Mechanical energy is used in generators to create electrical energy. It is used in manual labor, and anything that requires movement such as levers and rope-and-pulley systems.
In power plants generators convert mechanical energy into chemical energy?
false :)
What type of energy in flowing water?
Mechanical energy, if it is moving then it is kinetic mechanical energy. Or if it is at the top of a hill about to fall then it is potential mechanical energy.
What dose turbine and a generator have in common?
Turbines and generators are both components of power plants. Turbines are used to convert the kinetic energy of flowing water, steam, or wind into mechanical energy, while generators then convert this mechanical energy into electrical energy. The two work together to produce electricity.
You use mechanical energy to walk around what form did this energy have before your body changed it into mechanical energy?
Chemical energy ... in food ... which plants made from solar energy, water, and dirt.
How energy from the Sun changes to chemical energy in plants and to mechanical energy in animals?
through the exylem and then leaves
Plants convert radiant energy from the sun into mechanical energy which is used to help them grow?
True...
How can mechanical energy change into chemical energy?
Mechanical energy can change into chemical energy through processes like photosynthesis in plants. In this process, light energy is converted into chemical energy stored in the bonds of molecules like glucose.
Plants convert radiant energy from the sun into mechanical energy which is used to help them grow. true or false?
False. Plants convert radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis, not mechanical energy. This chemical energy is then used for various cellular processes, including growth.
In hydroelectric power plants the energy from moving water is converted into electric power. What kind of energy transformation occurs when the energy is converted?
The energy transformation that occurs in hydroelectric power plants is from kinetic energy (movement of water) to mechanical energy (turbine rotation) and then to electrical energy (electricity generation).
What is the study of chemical energy in plants and to mechanical energy in animals?
The study of chemical energy in plants is known as plant bioenergetics, focusing on processes such as photosynthesis where plants convert sunlight into energy. The study of mechanical energy in animals is related to biomechanics, examining how animals use physical forces and structures to perform tasks like movement or hunting.
How does hydal power work?
Hydal power plants convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Hydal power plants use flowing water as a source of mechanical energy. Electricity generated by flowing water from dams is called hydal power.
