What energy does food produce?

Food produces mechanical energy because mechanical energy is to do something and food gives you the energy to do something.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------No.Food is the energy from sunlight stored as chemical energy. When you eat food yo convert it into a different sort of chemical store (again chemical energy) before you can use it as mechanical energy. Even then most of the food is used keeping you warm and in this case the food is converted into heat rather than mechanical energy.


During an energy transfer what happens to the total amount of energy?

Energy can not be destroyed, so the total amount of energy before a change is equal to the amount of energy after the change. However, some energy is changed into a useful form, but some may be wasted and not used. For example, a light bulb, changes electrical energy into light energy, but some of the energy is changed to heat and some to sound, these are not useful and are wasted, but are changed nonetheless. So a transformation from mechanical energy to heat will have the same total energy at the start as at the finish, but unless it is 100% efficient some of the original energy will be 'lost'


What is the total amount of kinetic energy and potential energy in a system?

Internal energy at the microscopic level and thermodynamic or mechanical energy at the macroscopic level.


What best describes mechanical energy?

combined potential and kinetic energy (:mass and velocity


How is mechanical energy made?

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy, the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. It is the energy that is generated by an object that is performing work or a job.
