A pencil resting on a desk is an example of what kind of energy?

The pencil resting on a desk has potential energy due to its position in the gravitational field.


When using an electrical pencil sharpener what kind of energy is transformed?

When using an electrical pencil sharpener, electrical energy from the power source is transformed into mechanical energy to rotate the blades of the sharpener. This mechanical energy is then used to sharpen the pencil by cutting away the wood and graphite.


What kinda of energy is used when pencil sharpener gets hot from over use?

Nuclear Energy


What is the energy when you drop a pencil?

When you drop a pencil, the pencil gains potential energy as it moves higher away from the ground. As it falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When the pencil reaches the ground, it has no more potential energy but only kinetic energy.


What type of energy does a pencil have?

A pencil has potential energy due to its position above the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the pencil is dropped and accelerates towards the ground.


What energy transformation is used in an pencil sharpener?

Mechanical energy from your hand is converted into rotational mechanical energy to turn the blade inside the pencil sharpener. This rotational mechanical energy is then used to shave and sharpen the pencil, converting mechanical energy into potential and kinetic energy of the pencil shavings.


What kind of energy do a radio use?

Radios use eletrical energy


What type of energy is a pencil sharpener?

A pencil sharpener uses mechanical energy, as it harnesses energy through physical motion to sharpen a pencil.


A pencil resting on a desk is an example of which type of energy?

The pencil resting on a desk has potential energy due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field. This potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy if the pencil is dropped or moved.


What energy transformation takes place in a pencil sharpener?

Mechanical energy from your hand turning the pencil sharpener's handle is transformed into kinetic energy as the blade inside the sharpener rotates and sharpens the pencil. Friction between the blade and the pencil also generates heat energy in the process.


What energy form is involved in a pencil falling from a desk?

The energy involved is primarily gravitational potential energy. As the pencil falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.


What is a pencil centimeter or millimeter?

A pencil's length is quite a bit more than either; a pencil's diameter is several millimeters, but less than a centimeter (unless you're talking about an oversized novelty pencil, or the kind that they make kindergarten students use).
