Can nonmechanical energy be converted into mechanical energy?

Heaven's yes.Food (chemical) becomes muscular activity.A battery (chemical) runs a little fan.A motor (driven by electrical) runs a big fan.Fuel rods in the power plant (nuclear) boil water (heat) which turns a turbine (mechanical) which runs a generator (mechanical to electrical) which runs everything (back to mechanical).


How electricity convert in to mechanical energy?

Well, electricity energy is an energy source. Mechanical energy is the energy of potential energy and kinetic energy. A machine that runs on electricity and uses mechanical energy as a result is the conversion. When energy is converted, a small part is converted into thermal energy, or heat energy. Electricity is also a type of potential energy, because it is stored energy.


How is hydroelectricity gathered?

The water runs through turbines and, this mechanical energy is transfered to generator which inturn is transfered into electricity for homes, businesses, and other things that need electricity.


Input and output energies of a hairdryer?

Really a physics question which could go on for pages to be explained properly by someone in the know. To the layman it is Electron flow in the heating wire (electrical resistance) causing a collision at the atomic level producing radiant heat.


What transformation of energy takes place in a hair dryer?

Fundamentally, there are two energy conversions taking place: electrical energy is converted into heat energy in the heating coils and electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy in the fan motor. The moving air transfers heat to wet hair by convection, so the temperature of the water rises, which causes its evaporation rate to increase. Some of the heat is absorbed by the water molecules as they go from the liquid phase to the vapor phase. Secondarily, some of the heat is emitted as infrared radiation and some of the mechanical energy is emitted as sound waves. Eventually, these all dissipate as heat within the room.

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.


Describe the energy change of a wind up toy car as it runs down a slope?

The mechanical energy is stored in the spring as potential energy within the pullback toy and when you release it, it gets converted into kinetic energy. Hence cycle is Mechanical --- Spring (Potential)--- Kinetic
