What kind of energy is a flying bird? Kinetic, Thermal,Electric, Light, Chemical or Potential?
603737
All of those energies.\nkinetic=The act of flying\nthermal=stored+generated body heat \nelectrical=sensory processing\nlight=solar energy (during the day)\nchemical=synthesis or metabolism \npotential=gravitational force based on height.

Electricity is a form of energy.\n\nIt can be generated from other forms of energy, for example, chemical energy (burning fuel, or a battery), mechanical energy (a windmill), nuclear energy (atomic fission reaction like in a power plant).\n\nIn a battery electrical energy is converted from the  potential energy stored in chemicals which is released when they combine.\n\nIn a fuel cell, chemical energy is released in another type of chemical reaction.\n\nNuclear plants, windmills, hydroelectric dams or burning fuel in a generator turns a turbine or motor which moves a coil of wire through a magnetic field which produces energy.\n\nIn thermoelectric energy, heat is turned into electricity when two different metals are heated.

If it has wings it's a "fly"\nIf it doesn't it's  "grounded"!!! \nThat was a cute question. I'd never thought of that....LOL ;o)

1. flow of electrons\n2. mechanical energy\n3. motor, lightbulb\n4. the rate of flow of electrons

At the speed of light... than the chloroplast from the plant turn it into energy

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of its position.\nAny object which is far away from the center ofpossessingf nothing prevents it will move towards the center of earth. A spring wound fully  or partially. If left alone and it will rewind to its normal position.A  vessel containing gas under high pressure.If there is a vent the pressure will drop to normal.A string under tension. All thesrelievedamples of potential energy. These energies will be releived from the object when  there is proper way. \n\nKinetic energy is the energy by virtue of its motion. Any object moving in other words having velocity is possesing kinetic energy.If the velocity is reduced by some external agency the latter gets energy and viceversa.

Wave energy is used for electricity A line of floats are given a certain shape like an aeroplane wing placed in a pivoting position over water, as a wave hits one side it lifts and passes under lowering it this reciprocal action,in turn, turns a generator which in turn creates electrical power.

Kinetic Energy describes the amount of energy an object has by virtue of it hasving some non-zero mass and traveling at some speed.\nKE= 1/2 mv^2\n\nPotential Energy describes the energy that could be gained by that object if it was not at that potential.  It is not really accurate to say that potential energy is energy at rest since it is very possible for moving objects to have potential energy.\nA good example would be a rock sitting on a cliff.  That rock has some potential gravitiational energy since it is sitting some height above the ground (the bottom of the cliff).  The potential energy equals the amount of energy needed to put that rock up there in the first place and the amount of energy which could be gained if the rock falls down from the cliff.  As the rock is falling, before it hits the ground, the rock has some fraction of its potential energy converted into kinetic, in other words it has both at the same time.\nThere are many forms of potential energy, gravitational potential energy being the most commonly described.\ngravitational PE = mgh

for a window fan, \n\nelectrical energy is input and transformed into mechanical energy, plus there is a heat loss.

Potential energy is the sum total of all the energy that CAN BE derived.  Think of it as stored energy waiting to be released.\n\nKinetic energy is the total energy being derived at some instant in time. Unlike potential energy, kinetic energy is determined by mass AND velocity.

Heat energy.\n\nThere is water (or a water mixture) cooling the core directly.  This water is radioactive.  You then have coils running in the water which have other water (protected from the radiation) coursing through them.  This water gets the heat transfered to it and turns to steam.  The steam runs turbines that turn a magnet core in the center of a copper coil that in turn produces electricity.\n\nHope this answers it for ya, feel free to email me!

Heat is the kinetic energy of molecular motion. The molecules of a hot object are in rapid motion; the hotter, the higher the average speed and the greater the thermal energy. If the object is gaseous the motion consists of free-path travel and collisions with other molecules. If it is liquid the paths between collisions are shorter, and if solid the motion is vibrational with no secular movement.

There are four kind of energy: \n1. Gravity\n2. Electromagnetic\n3. Weak atomic Energies\n4. Strong atomic Energies

1.Heat is electromagnetic radiation and by using a photocell you could transfer heat into electric energy.\n2.You can also employ a thermocouple to generate some electricity\n3.A steam and Sterling engine can serve as good examples of heat changing into mechanical energy.\n4.Heating and cooling two co-joined metal strips of different linear expansion into buckling and relaxation. \n5.There more examples.

The easiest form of energy to produce is thermal energy.   It's produced accidentally from almost every other type of energy.   When electricity flows through a wire, some of it is dissipated as heat because of electrical resistance.   When the wind blows past your house, some of its kinetic energy is dissipated as heat.   The reason a sound dies away is because it goes to heat up the air.   If you shine a light on a dark surface it is absorbed and turned into heat energy.   This is because heat is the most disordered form of energy.   Turning heat into other forms of energy is more difficult.   You need some sort of machine like a petrol engine, steam engine or rocket motor.   This is the second law of thermodynamics; entropy (disorder) increases.

Maria, \n\nBirds are bipedal, warm-blooded, oviparous vertebrates characterized primarily by feathers, forelimbs modified as wings, and hollow bones. I will attach some links to follow for your question as it is a very detailed one.

Gravitational Potential Energy....\n\nThe gravitational potential energy you have when you are that high in the air is conserved as forward motion (and some heat) that gets your coaster through the rest of the track run!!
