Is burning coal mechanical energy?

No, burning coal does not involve mechanical energy. When coal is burned, it undergoes a chemical reaction to produce heat, which can then be used to generate mechanical energy through processes like steam turbine systems.


In coal-fired power plants coal is burned to produce steam which is then used to turn a turbine.?

Yes, coal is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam, which then spins a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity. The heat energy from burning coal is converted into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy in the process.


Which kind of energy is coal and oil?

Chemical energy.


How much energy is produced when you burn coal?

The energy produced when burning coal can vary, but on average, one ton of coal can produce about 2,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity. Coal combustion releases heat energy due to the chemical reaction between coal and oxygen. This heat energy is used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.


What does coal and water have in common?

they both can produce energy.


Uranium fuel pellet used in nuclear power stations produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy as?

1 kg of U-235 will produce as much energy as 1500 tons of coal


What energy transformation occurs first in coal burning plants?

In coal burning plants, the first energy transformation that occurs is the combustion of coal to produce heat energy. This heat energy is then used to generate steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity.


The energy in petroleum and coal is stored as what kind of energy?

potential energy


When coal is burned energy is being converted to energy?

When coal is burned, chemical energy stored in the coal is converted into heat energy. This heat energy is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.


What is renewable alternative to coal?

You can use many different things. some examples are: Bio-Fuel (still in development) Wind (not as reliable as coal) solar (doesn't produce as much energy as coal) hydro (doesn't produce as much energy as coal)


How much energy does coal produce?

Coal produces around 24-33 megajoules of energy per kilogram when burned. The energy output can vary depending on the type and quality of the coal.


What energy does burning coal give?

Burning coal gives heat (thermal), light and sound energy.
