A bowling ball striking the pins is an example of which type of energy?
Mechanical Energy
What kind of energy does a shotgun use?
Mechanical energy (firing pin striking primer) that causes a release of stored Chemical Energy, that becomes Heat Energy (buring gunpowder creates expanding gasses) that becomes Mechanical Energy- shot is pushed out of barrel.
What is it if you put mechanical energy in and get electrical energy out if an electric motor is electrical energy in mechanical energy out?
It's called a generator.
What is energy of a moving object called?
Kinetic energy.
Why is mechanical energy called mechanical energy?
Because it's the sum total of the energy found in a mechanical system: in other words, the motion or position of an actual object.
Use kinetic energy potential energy mechanical energy in a sentence?
All in one sentence? Ok... "The potential energy in a watch spring is translated to kinetic energy by the mechanical energy of the spring unwinding." Or.. "Kinetic energy is released when a body moves from one state to another." "The potential energy of a circuit is understood by analyzing the circuit components." "Striking the head of a nail with a hammer is an example of mechanical energy." or.. do it your self :D
The sum of potential and kinetic energy in a system is called the total energy?
That sum is called the mechanical energy.
What do you call kinetic energy plus potential energy?
That is called mechanical energy.
What else can mechanical energy be called?
force
What is the energy called when mechanical energy decreases and temperature increases?
Force
Energy possessed or transferred by machines is called?
Mechanical energy.
What is a machine for changing mechanical energy to electrical energy?
That is called a generator.
