Clocks typically use electrical energy to power their internal mechanisms, either from a battery or through a plug into an outlet. Some older clocks may use mechanical energy from a winding mechanism or from weights to keep time.
An alarm clock typically uses electrical energy to run. This electricity can come from batteries or a power outlet.
Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
The hands moving on a battery-operated clock is an example of electrical energy being converted into mechanical energy to drive the clock's hands.
An electric clock typically uses electrical energy, which is converted into mechanical energy to power the movement of the clock hands. The electrical energy is provided by a power source such as a battery or a wall outlet.
When winding the mainspring of a clock, mechanical energy is used. This energy is transferred to the mainspring through the winding key or crown, which tightens the spring inside the clock mechanism.

A wound up clock contains potential energy, specifically elastic potential energy stored in the wound-up spring inside it. As the spring unwinds, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which powers the clock's movement.
A battery-operated clock primarily contains chemical energy stored in its batteries. When the clock is powered on, this chemical energy is converted into electrical energy, which powers the clock's components, including the movement of the hands and the electronic display. This conversion allows the clock to function accurately and consistently without the need for an external power source.
The hands moving on a battery-operated clock is an example of electrical energy being converted into mechanical energy to drive the clock hands.
The energy transformation in a ticking clock involves converting electrical energy from the battery or mains power supply into mechanical energy to move the gears and hands of the clock. This mechanical energy is then used to store and release potential energy in a spring or weight mechanism, which regulates the motion of the clock hands in a controlled manner.
A battery operated clock typically uses electrical energy stored in a battery to power its operation. This energy is converted into mechanical energy to drive the clock hands and maintain accurate timekeeping.
