Mechanical energy is a term that is used to describe?
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of some object. So any object in motion, has potential to be in motion, or has both has mechanical energy. Your car in motion has kinetic energy and potential for more kinetic energy in the gasoline that it runs on. So your car has mechanical energy. Or you up on the three-meter diving board at the pool have potential for kinetic energy when you take a swan dive off that board. You have mechanical energy there. But, bottom line, pretty much any object that is either in motion or can be put into motion has a form of mechanical energy.
What is the energy stored in Compressed hydraulic cylinder?
potential energy
What is the source of energy in a hydroelectric power station?
Potential energy
What is the definition of mechanical energy?
Energy an object has because of its motion or position. A combination of kinetic and potential energy resulting from the force of gravity and/or the movement or release of a machine component, such as a spring, clamp, or wheel. The total mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy.
Windmill is an example of what kind of energy transformation?
Gravitational potential energy being converted to kinetic energy
Does a picture hanging on a wall have energy?
A picture hanging on the wall has potential energy. If it comes loose, it will fall, converting the potential energy to kinetic energy.
What energy does an apple hanging from a tree have?
chemical energy
Object hanging on a tree a kinetic or potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy contained in the position of an object, so object hanging on a tree would be potential energy.
A picture hanging on the wall has what energy?
It is higher from ground thus it contain potential energy.
What energy does picture hanging on a wall have?
Gravitational potential energy
A picture hanging on a wall has energy?
Potential
What is the type of energy stored in a fruit hanging in a tree?
potential energy
What type of energy is weight hanging from a tree?
Primarily potential energy (possibly a little bit of kinetic energy if it is swinging back and forth). If whatever it is hanging by is severed, it will fall - transitioning from potential to kinetic energy.
What is potential energy on the surface of the earth?
There is no absolute measure for potential energy. The calculation for potential energy depends on the chosen reference level. Quite often, the Earth's surface is chosen as the reference level - in this case, an object on the surface will have zero potential energy.
What kind of form energy does a guava hanging on a guava tree?
potential energy
What is an example of gravitational potential?
An apple hanging from a tree has gravitational potential energy...anything which could fall to the ground has gravitational potential energy
What stores gravitational potential energy?
a leaf hanging on a tree
