Energy can basically be divided in two groups: thermal and nonthermal.
In principle nonthermal energy can be transformed 100 % in to any other kind of
nonthermal energy or thermal energy.
For the case of thermal energy only a part of it can be transformed into a nonthermal energy through a 'Heat Engine' according to thermodynamics 2nd law.
Example of a nonthermal energy is mechanical energy of which potential energy ( owed to the position of a body in a gravity field, or given to a body by a spring or
something similar), and kinetic energy of a macroscopic body ( molecules kinetic energy in gases and liquids are not included here, they are part of the body's thermal energy) belong to it.
What else can I help you with?
Is wind considered mechanical energy?
Mechanical Energy is defined as "Energy that is the result of matter in motion." I THINK that makes wind mechanical. (Well, really, I hope it is, because that's what it says on my science project)
Can a turbine in a hydroelectric power plant makes energy?
Well, no. A turbine does not MAKE energy. It changes one form of energy to another. A Pelton turbine in a hydroelectric plant changes the weight and force of falling water to rotary mechanical energy, which is used to turn a generator. That changes mechanical energy to electrical energy. But none of that MAKES energy.
A device that makes energy easier is a machine?
A device that makes energy easier to use could be a power converter or energy transformer that changes the form of energy (such as from mechanical to electrical) for more efficient use.
Examples of Mechanical Energy to Sound Energy?
First of all, sound waves are mechanical energy. Secondly, anything that makes noise because it is moving would be an example of mechanical energy turning into "sound energy;" like a car going down the road, a gun shot, or somebody slapping their palm against their forehead.
What energy conversion happens in an fan?
fan converts electric energy into magnetic and further mechanical energy
What converts mechanical energy into mechanical energy?
potiental energy
The conversion of electrical energy in to mechanical energy?
Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Generators transfer mechanical energy to electrical energy.
What makes a electric car move?
The electric car moves because the batteries power the motor. The motor then turns the electricity into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is then transfered to the wheels through the drive train.
Potential energy plus kinetic energy equal what?
Mechanical energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy in a closed system. The total mechanical energy is conserved.
What is mechanical energy and it's examples?
a mechanical energy is a kind of energy
What kind of energy does mechanical energy?
Mechanical energy is the combination of kinetic energy and potential energy.
What is energy that results from chemical changes is?
well what had happen was..... it makes generate heat, electrical, mechanical, and sound energies
