What are five examples that illustrate mechanical energy being converted to thermal energy?
- Friction between moving parts in a machine can convert mechanical energy into thermal energy.
- When brakes are applied in a moving vehicle, mechanical energy is converted to thermal energy due to friction between the brake pads and the wheels.
- The act of rubbing your hands together generates heat by converting mechanical energy into thermal energy.
- Electric heaters convert electrical energy (which is ultimately derived from mechanical energy in power plants) into thermal energy, which in turn heats up a room.
- When a ball bounces repeatedly on the ground, mechanical energy is gradually dissipated as thermal energy due to internal friction within the ball and between the ball and the ground.
What else can I help you with?
When mechanical energy is lost due to friction it becomes?
It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
What is device that transforms thermal energy to mechanical energy?
Steam engine is a device that transforms thermal energy into mechanical energy. An internal combustion engine (I.C Engine) can transform thermal energy into mechanical energy. In nuclear power plant also the heat energy released is used to turn the turbine and thus thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy of rotation of turbine. This mechanical energy of turbine is further converted into electrical energy in generator.
Which type of energy is the mechanical energy of the car converted?
Most of it will be converted to heat, via friction.
What can thermal energy convert into?
Thermal energy can be converted into alot of things just go find out what it is.
How much thermal energy is produced in an electric motor j of electrical energy are converted into 92j of mechanical energy?
If 92 J of electrical energy are converted into 92 J of mechanical energy in an electric motor, then all of the electrical energy is being converted into mechanical energy. No thermal energy is being produced in this scenario. The efficiency of the motor in this case is 100%, meaning all the input energy is being converted into useful work without any energy loss in the form of heat.

What is Thermal energy that is converted into mechanical energy?

When mechanical energy is lost due to friction it becomes?
It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
How is mechanical energy better than thermal energy?
Mechanical energy can be easily converted to other types of energy. Thermal energy is, to a great extent, wasted energy - it can no longer be converted to other types of energy.

What kind of energy is used in a hair dryer?
Electrical energy is converted into thermal and mechanical energy
What kind of energy in car engine?
Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.
Energy conversions examples?
Thermal, nuclear, mechanical, chemical,electrical, electromagnetic.
