-- A Bowling ball rolls off of a shelf. It spends some fraction of a second converting its gravitational
potential energy into kinetic energy, whereupon it dramatically expends all of its mechanical energy
upon impact with the floor.
-- Water pours over a waterfall. Its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy on its
way down to the valley below the falls. If you stick a waterwheel or turbine into the cascade in the right
way, you can rob some of the water's mechanical energy to generate electricity or grind wheat.
What else can I help you with?
Is a dry cell used in a flashlight an example of mechanical energy?
No, a dry cell used in a flashlight is an example of chemical energy, not mechanical energy. The chemical reactions in the battery produce electrical energy that powers the flashlight.
How do you convert chemical to mechanical?
Coal is a chemical compound which contains chemical energy. To convert coal into mechanical energy, you use it (burn it) to produce heat and use the heat to boil water, the steam from which will drive a steam engine which delivers mechanical energy.
How can you convert chemical energy to mechanical energy?
By burning
What does an automobile engine convert chemical energy to?
An automobile engine converts chemical energy from fuel (such as gasoline) into mechanical energy through combustion. This mechanical energy is used to power the vehicle and drive the wheels.
A bus engine transfers chemical potential energy into what so that the bus moves?
: the engine changes chemical energy into light and kinetic energy to power the car? Write your answer...
Is chemical energy an example of mechanical energy?
A combustion engine converts chemical energy in gasoline to mechanical energy in the engine.
What is a conversion from chemical energy to mechanical energy?
A common example of conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy is in a car engine where the combustion of fuel releases energy that is then converted into mechanical energy to move the vehicle.
Is a dry cell used in a flashlight an example of mechanical energy?
No, a dry cell used in a flashlight is an example of chemical energy, not mechanical energy. The chemical reactions in the battery produce electrical energy that powers the flashlight.
What are examples of mechanical energy transformed into chemical energy?
There are many examples of how chemical energy can be transformed into mechanical energy. Perhaps the best known example is the combustion of gasoline in an engine to power an automobile.
What is this an example of - After lunch a boy rides his bike to his friends house?
Chemical energy transformed to mechanical energy.
Which energy is converted when you are cycling?
In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.In your muscles, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.
Can muscle produce mechanical energy into chemical energy?
No, muscles convert chemical energy (ATP) into mechanical energy to generate force and movement. They cannot directly convert mechanical energy back into chemical energy.
How is chemical energy and mechanical energy different?
Mechanical energy is combination of potential and kinetic energy. Chemical energy is stored in an object.
What type of energy is used on a lever?
Mechanical energy, which may originally come from just about any other type of energy. For example, if you push with your muscles, you are converting chemical energy in your body into mechanical energy.
Walking converts what type of energy into mechanical energy?
Walking - or doing any effort with our muscles with that matter - converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. We get the chemical energy from the food we eat.Walking - or doing any effort with our muscles with that matter - converts chemical energy into mechanical energy.

What transformation does grass go through in a food chain?
It goes from light energy from the sun to chemical energy to chemical, mechanical, and heat energy and the chemical energy can go to mechanical and heat energy. Then the remaining chemical energy goes to chemical, heat, and mechanical energy again and it keeps on repeating.
What is the energy conversation in car?
Chemical (gas) to thermal (combustion) to mechanical More Simply: Chemical Energy to Mechanical Energy
