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.

How does mechanical energy convert to light energy?
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.
Which object converts electrical energy to mechanical energy a light bulb a fan or a television?
-- radio transmitter = electrical energy into electromagnetic energy -- microwave oven = heat energy -- electric motor = mechanical -- toaster = heat -- light bulb = heat and light -- battery charger = chemical -- blow drier = mechanical -- coffee percolator = mechanical -- electric fan= mechanical -- flashlight = light -- electric kitchen mixer = mechanical
Is a dark light bulb starting to glow a conversion from chemical energy to mechanical?
No... Electrical to heat (mainly) and light.
Into what kinds of energy does a toaster convert electrical energy?
Mostly heat, and a little bit of light. A lot like an incandescent light bulb.
What is an example of an energy matter interaction?
an interaction is when you play an instrument. your mechanical energy can be turned into sound energy when you play. another one is when you use electric energy to power a fan or bulb. the electric energy will turn to heat and light.(this is for the bulb)
Is a light bulb a mechanical energy?
No. It converts electrical energy into light and thermal energy only.

Is a dark light bulb starting to glow a conversion from energy to mechanical energy?
No because mechanical energy means that something is being physically moved.

Which energy changes takes place when a pedling cyclist uses a generator to light his bicycle lamp?
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)
Is light mechanical energy?
Light is not mechanical energy but it can be transformed into mechanical energy. Light creates an impact as it hits a surface.
Does flashlights use electric chemical or mechanical energy?
They use chemical energy and it converts to electrical energy in the bulb and after becomes electomagnetic energy or radiant energy which is the light.

What transformations occur in a light bulb?
In a light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into light energy and heat energy.
What is the source of energy in a light bulb?
Electricity is the source of energy in a light bulb.
