Explaine the law of conservation of mechanical energy?

This simply means that, as long as no mechanical energy is wasted or converted to other types of energy (and no other type of energy to mechanical energy), the total amount of mechanical energy doesn't change. Mechanical energy refers to the sum of kinetic and potential energy. Since energy losses and energy conversions do occur, this is not really a "law". In other words, the law of conservation of energy has not been known to be violated; conservation of mechanical energy is very easily violated.


Energy is transferred as when mechanical energy decreases and temperature increases?

When mechanical energy decreases and temperature increases, it is likely due to the conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy. This happens through processes like friction or resistance, where the mechanical energy is transformed into heat, causing the increase in temperature.


What is the generic term for an electrical device that uses and converts electrical energy into other forms of energy?

The generic term for an electrical device that uses and converts electrical energy into other forms of energy would be an electric power converter or simply a converter.


Is a fossil fuel an example of mechanical energy?

Fossil fuel in itself is simply an example of potential energy, which can be changed to mechanical energy by burning, thus changing from potential energy to heat energy and then to mechanical energy.


Do mechanical pencils use energy?

Mechanical pencils themselves do not need any energy in the forms of battery or electricity. However, mechanical pencils do need human energy to work. We need to add lead and push lead out; they do not do this on their own.

Does a step down converter also change the frequency?

No. It simply changes the voltage.
