There is a large conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy in the body of the skater. Lots of that! (That may be part of the reason for being out there!) That is what the muscles are doing all the time - converting chemical energy to mechanical energy. The body is a chemical engine, and we convert chemical energy into mechanical energy every moment we are alive. There is more, so let's look! There will be conversion of potential energy to mechanical energy at all time the skater is in motion, too. And mechanical energy is converted to potential energy as well. This may not be obvious, but walking is a constant process of converting potential energy to mechanical energy and vice versa. When we walk, we lean forward and gravity begins to pull us down. We're converting potential energy into kinetic (mechanical) energy. We then put out a foot and lift ourselves back up that tiny bit that we "fell" and that's converting mechanical energy into potential energy because we "lifted" ourselves upright again. Then we start all over with the next step. Make sense? Walking, running or skating all put the same principles into motion. The mechanical energy of friction and its conversion into heat happens in the skates, particularly in the bearings and wheels. The motion - any at all - will create a bit of heat due to friction. The more the motion, the more mechanical energy is converted into heat. Even with good bearings that are properly lubricated, they assembly will warm up. The wheels will be warm to the touch after only a brief time of skating, too. You know why? Yup. Conversion of the mechanical energy of friction into heat energy. There's a lot going on when we skate!
Mixture of alot of skating, with alot of gym work on their legs and abbs.
Figure skating is a type of ice skating. It's like asking "Is a Ferrari more popular than a car?" A Ferrari is a type of car. Ice skating includes figure skating, speed skating, ice dancing, ice hockey, any type of activity where you move across the ice on skates. So, ice skating would have more participants because it includes more activities than just figure skating.
It depends on which country you live in and what type of ice skating but on average more girls tend to do figure skating and more boys do speed skating. On average combined, more girls do skating all round. Hope this helped! (:
What energy is related to the mass and speed of an object
It means to go to a skating rink (either ice skating or roller skating), putting on skates, and then skating. The form of skates and the type of rink you need depends on what type of skating you wish to do.
The main type of energy associated with a race car traveling at its maximum speed is kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. At its top speed, the car has converted potential energy stored in its fuel and other systems into kinetic energy as it moves.
Their are 4 rounds in pair skating or in any type of skating.
during photosynthisis SOLAR energy is the type of energy which plants turn into chemical energy
Kinetic energy is related to the mass and speed of an object. Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its speed.

Light energy
The energy from falling rocks is primarily gravitational potential energy being converted into kinetic energy as the rocks descend due to gravity. This kinetic energy increases as the rocks gain speed and momentum during the fall.
