What is Mechanical Energy?
o
Energy due to a
objects motion
(kinetic) or position
(potential).
The bowling ball has
mechanical energy.
When the ball strikes
the pins, mechanical
energy is transferred
to the pins!

Primary / Conventional / Non-renewable energy
Solidfuels:wood,coal,cokeetc.
Liquidfuels:petrol,diesel,kerosene.
Gaseous fuels: natural gas, producer gas, blast furnace
gas , liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), compressed natural
gas(CNG),methane,propane,butaneetc.
Nuclearenergy:nuclearfissionofurabium.
