Storage of mechanical energy can be difficult and may necessitate lossy conversions to other forms. Pumping water uphill into a hydro-power generation reservoir is used, but not widely, so appears to be short on advantages.

What are some objects that contain mechanical energy?

"the energy in moving things is mechanical energy. wind, moving water, and falling rocks all have mechanical energy. when you walk, run, or ride a bicyle, you are using mechanical energy. sound is a form of mechanical energy."-Concepts and Challenges in Physical Science


What form of energy do living things change into mechanical energy and thermal energy?

Living things convert chemical energy, stored in molecules like glucose, into mechanical and thermal energy. The process of cellular respiration breaks down molecules to release energy that is used for activities like muscle movement (mechanical energy) and maintaining body temperature (thermal energy).


What things do you use that has mechanical energy in it?

Clocks, watches, cars, bicycles, guns, toilets, chainsaws, your body, locks, clicky pens, mechanical pencils, trains, most multicelular organisms use mechanical energy for movement and things like that, what doesn't have mechanical energy in it?


Is mechanical energy the energy of movement?

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in a system. Kinetic energy is the energy of movement, while potential energy is related to an object's position or condition. So, while mechanical energy includes the energy associated with movement, it also encompasses other forms of energy within a system.


Which pair is made up of two things that work in opposite way's A bar magnet and horseshoe magnet B chemical energy and mechanical energy C generator and motor D solar energy and geothermal energy?

C. Generator and motor. In case of generator mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy But in motor, electrical energy is changed into mechanical energy.

What form of energy do living things into mechanical energy and thermal energy?

Energy can change from one form to another.For example,living things store potential energy as chemical energy.


What creates mechanical energy?

A form of chemical energy such as in the combustion process to start the mechanical process (energy) of a car engine. A battery uses chemical energy to power things like clocks or the A/C in your car. A person moving an object is displaying mechanical energy by moving the object, yet they themselves are powered by the chemical energy in the nutrients they take in when they eat.
