What kind of energy does a lawn mower use?

Answer 1

electrical

Answer 2

Lawn mowers are available as electrically powered or gas powered. For an electrically powered mower, the question gets a bit messy. Sure the mower itself is using electricity, but then there's the question where that electricity is coming from. Might be solar, nuclear, hydro, wind or even chemical energy that was used to generate the electricity.

For a gas powered mower, it's easier - that's chemical energy.

There are also the human-powered, hand-pushed mowers. They would be powered by humans, which are powered by chemical energy.

Stored Energy (Electricity, Petrol) to Kinetic Energy (Movement) with the by-product of heat energy.

Answer 3

A lawn mower typically uses mechanical energy, which is converted from the chemical energy stored in its fuel (such as gasoline or electricity). The engine in a gas-powered lawn mower converts the chemical energy in gasoline into mechanical energy to power the blades. In an electric lawn mower, the electrical energy from the battery or power outlet is converted into mechanical energy to drive the blades.

Answer 4

Well, honey, a lawn mower typically uses gasoline as its energy source. Some fancy ones might run on electricity or even battery power, but most of them are chugging along with good ol' gas. Just make sure you don't accidentally mow over your neighbor's prize-winning daisies while you're at it, darling.
