What is the energy you use to run machines?

There are several ways to power a machine. For a battery it uses chemical energy and for a car battery it uses chemical energy. There are 2 types of energy:Potential energy and Kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy waiting to be released. and kinetic energy is energy of motion. There are 7 diffrent types of energy: Mechanical, Thermal, Chemical, electrical, sound and Nuclear energy.


When two objects run together to produce friction what is also produced?

When two objects run together to produce friction, heat is also produced as a result of the energy transformation from kinetic energy to thermal energy.


What is the energy that you use to run many machines?

Electricity is the energy used to power many machines. It is a versatile and widely-used form of energy that is generated from a variety of sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear power, and renewable sources like wind and solar.


Why is heat an unusable energy?

Thermal energy is useful energy. However, thermal energy is usually just heat, and not very hot heat at that. And heat, unless hot enough to boil water is a bit difficult to move and to convert into other kinds of energy. You can't run an electric motor directly off thermal energy for instance. But if you live somewhere where homes needs to be heated as opposed to cooled then thermal energy most certainly can come in handy.


Is heat a form energy?

Heat is a form of energy because without it the world would be a cold, dark, silent, and completely still. Energy makes things happen. It makes plants and animals live and grow. People today even use heat to cook food, heat buildings, and run machines.

Does thermal energy run on gasoline?

Gasoline can combusted and given out thermal energy but I suspect the questing ask about thermal energy plant. Thermal energy plant usually referred to Geothermal power plant or Solarthermal power plant. Geothermal plant run on the thermal energy from earth and Solarthermal run on the solar radiation transformed to heat. If the question ask for the latter then no, thermal energy plant doesn't run on gasoline.


What happened to the thermal energy released to the environment?

the heat will just be absorbed by the environment. It may be converted into electricity. It may be absorbed by heavy run machines. etc.

Why do machines with moving parts give off heat?

friction in machines is undesirable becouse becouse the materials used to make them are always in griding form. ALLY S. MUBA-ngarambe

Why is the worlds climate warming?

mankind has started to run off all machines, apparently machines release carbon dioxide which is called a green house gas, a green house gas traps in heat from the suns energy. the more green hous gas the hotter


How you will derive energy to run your machines where there are no fossil fuels?

From renewable sources of energy like solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and many others.
