Can chemical energy transform into mechanical energy after riding a bike?

Not after riding a bike, but rather during riding a bike. Your muscles convert chemical energy (a form of potential energy) into mechanical energy to do work.


How does mechanical energy convert to light energy?

One method which this could happen is you have mechanical energy, lets say you riding a bike, and attach a turbine to it which converts your mechanical energy into electrical energy. You then plug a light bulb into that, and the electric energy is converted into light.


How do you convert thermal energy into electrical energy and are electrical energy and mechanical energy the same thing?

I don't know how to convert it, but I'll answer the second question.Mechanical energy is made from say...a Bike, the energy that makes it move and pulls it forward is considered mechanical energy. Electrical energy is made from a lightbulb, or anything that is electrical. So to answer that question..No, mechanical energy is not the same as electrical energy.Answer:Electrical Energy is consumed by, it is not made from a lightbulb or anything that is electrical... Steam (thermal energy) drives a turbine which drives a generator (mechanical energy) which produces electrical energy.No they are not the same thing aside from both being forms of energy.Electrical energy can be converted into mechanical energy such as plugging in your blender or vacuum cleaner and mechanical energy can be converted to electrical energy as mentioned in the example of the generator above.


What type of energy is it when you move a handle or bike pedal and the gears or bike tires keep moving?

it is called mechanical energy.


What type of energy does a bike use?

Solar energy transfers to the biker, the biker transfers muscular energy to the pedals, the pedals transfer mechanical energy to the bike itself, the bike transfers mechanical energy to the wheels, and the wheels transfer friction energy to the road, and the bike (it's wheels) moves.

Is kinetic energy energy stored in a bicycle at the top of a hill?

No. On top of the hill the bike would have potential energy. If released, by letting the bike roll downhill, it'd turn into kinetic energy as the bike picks up speed.
