The conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy requires a?
The answer is heat engine.
6 forms of energy?
Thermal EnergyMechanical EnergyElectrical EnergyElectromagnetic Energy
What are some examples of heat energy transformation?
Thermal energy, mechanical energy, electrical energy and light energy.
What is a common energy transformation?
There are 6 kinds of transformatons: 1.Mechanical Energy 2.Thermal Energy 3.Chemical Energy 4.Electrical Energy 5.Electromagnetic Energy 6.Nuclear Energy The most common is probably Mechanical or Electrical.
What are the SEVEN main types of energy?
There are several types of energy which includes. Thermal energy (thermal energy in transit is called heat), Chemical energy, Electrical energy, Radiant energy (the energy of electromagnetic radiation), Nuclear energy, Magnetic energy, Elastic energy, Sound Energy and Mechanical energy.
When you put on the brakes of a bicycle friction causes some of the mechanical energy of the brakes to change to thermal energy?
true
Does friction causes mechanical energy to be transformed into potential energy?
Thermal
How are thermal energy and and mechanical energy similar?
-Thermal energy and mechanical energy are the sum of potential and kinetic energy.-They can change to another form of energy.-They can't be created or destroyed due to the law of conservation of energy.
Is it true friction cause some mechanical energy to change to thermal energy?
Yes.
Does friction cause mechanical energy to change to thermal?
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
What form of energy do living thing change into mechanical energy and thermal energy?
animals may change its form or shape
What form of energy do living things change into mechanical energy and thermal energy?

Friction frequently causes some of an objects mechanical energy to be changed to what form?
A. thermal energy B. nuclear energy C. gravitational potential energy D. Chemical potential energy the correct answer will be A. thermal energy because friction cause heat that what cause thermal energy.
What is an example of the transfer from thermal energy to mechanical energy?
steam engine mechanism.(converts thermal energy to mechanical.)
Mechanical energy be converted to thermal energy?
rubbing handsMechanical energy converted to thermal energy
What is device that transforms thermal energy to mechanical energy?
Steam engine is a device that transforms thermal energy into mechanical energy. An internal combustion engine (I.C Engine) can transform thermal energy into mechanical energy. In nuclear power plant also the heat energy released is used to turn the turbine and thus thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy of rotation of turbine. This mechanical energy of turbine is further converted into electrical energy in generator.
Which energy transformation takes place in a match head when light the match?
The mechanical energy used to strike a match is transformed first to thermal energy. The thermal energy causes the particles in the match to release stored chemical energy, which is transformed to thermal energy and the electromagnetic energy you see as light.
