There are two kinds of mechanical energy: Kinetic energy (i.e. energy related to motion), where an object can do work on something by slowing down; and potential energy, where an object can do work on something by being pulled or pushed by an outside force (e.g. gravity, magnetism, or elasticity).
Light bulbs, when used as intended, don't have energy of motion, since they are mounted in one place that they don't move from. However, since most are mounted in a place where they can fall downward, they often have potential energy from gravity.
The glow from a light bulb isn't a result of the bulb's gravitational potential energy. The glow results from the motion of electrons through the filament of the bulb.
No, a flashlight does not generate mechanical energy. Instead, it uses electrical energy to power the light bulb and produce light.
Examples of conversion of mechanical energy into light energy include a light bulb, which converts electrical energy (generated by a mechanical source like a power plant) into light energy through the heating of a filament, and a hand-crank flashlight, which converts mechanical energy from the hand-crank into light energy through the activation of a dynamo or generator.
In a flashlight, electrical energy from the battery is converted into light energy and heat energy in the bulb. The battery provides the electrical energy, which powers the light bulb to produce both light and heat.
No, flashlights do not typically contain or use mechanical energy. Instead, they use electrical energy to power the light-emitting components, such as the light bulb or LED. The electrical energy is converted into light energy by these components.
When a hand-crank flashlight is operated, the mechanical energy from turning the crank is converted into electrical energy, which is then converted into light energy by the light bulb in the flashlight. This demonstrates the transformation of mechanical energy into light energy through intermediate electrical energy.
No. It converts electrical energy into light and thermal energy only.

No because mechanical energy means that something is being physically moved.

No, the process of a dark light bulb starting to glow is a conversion from electrical energy to light energy. The electricity flowing through the filament of the light bulb generates heat and light, causing it to glow. Chemical energy is not involved in this process.
There are 2 energy changes that take place in this action: Mechanical to Light Energy and Mechanical to Electrical Energy. To explain further, when a generator, which uses mechanical energy, is used in turn to light up the bicycle lamp, the light emitted is light energy. At the same time, when the generator lights up the bicycle lamp, the lamp is light up using electrical energy, so mechanical energy also transformed into electrical energy. ===============================> heat and light (in the light bulb)
One method which this could happen is you have mechanical energy, lets say you riding a bike, and attach a turbine to it which converts your mechanical energy into electrical energy. You then plug a light bulb into that, and the electric energy is converted into light.
Light is not mechanical energy but it can be transformed into mechanical energy. Light creates an impact as it hits a surface.
