What are 4 types of nonmechanical energy?
Mechanical energy is potential energy and kinetic energy. It involves such things as gravity and speed. It does not necessarily require a mechanical device be present. Nonmechanical energy is anything else. Electrical energy, heat, nuclear energy, and chemical energy are examples of nonmechanical energy.
Energy that lies at the level of atoms and does not affect motion on a large scale is sometimes called?
How is called the energy that lies at the level of atoms and does not affect motion? Its nonmechanical.... Do you go to PH???
When a pitcher throws a softball to a catcher the vibration of the atoms that make up the softball is potential energy while the motion of the ball toward the catcher is non mechanical energy?
nonmechanical
List two ways mechanical energy can be transfomed to nonmechanical energy?
* Moving an object across another can result in heat through friction. This is conversion of the mechanical energy into thermal energy. * In an electric motor, the (mechanical) rotation of the coils results in electrical current and therefore electrical energy.
Difference between mechanical and non- mechanical energy?
Mechanical energy is large scale and nonmechanical energy is small scale. By small scale I mean the scale of atoms. Mechanical energy can be broken down to GPE (gravitational potential energy) and KE kinetic energy. If something possess mechanical energy you can SEE it. Nonmechanicale energy can be heat energy, light energy (electromagnetic), chemical energy, or nuclear energy. Once again, you CANNOT SEE nonmechanical energy* Okay, I know you can see light but you can't see the photons. You also can't see X-rays or microwaves. * Author's note: If you CAn SEE things such as heat energy or X-rays, you may have mutant powers, promise to use them for good and not evil
Is a frisbee flying though the air a mechanical or nonmechanical?
Yes
What causes nonmechanical obstruction?
Nonmechanical obstruction, called ileus, occurs because the wavelike muscular contractions of the intestine (peristalsis) that ordinarily move food through the digestive tract stop.
What is the definition of heat energy?
The definition of Heat Energy is The energy created by conduction. : )
What is the definition for wind energy?
well a good definition is solar energy
What energy has this definition energy of light?
Radiant energy
Which of the following is one definition of energy?
There is no appropriate definition of energy on the list that follows the question.
Definition of conventional and non conventional energy?
Definition of conventional and non conventional energy
