ROTATION
The energy transformation in a ticking clock involves converting electrical energy from the battery or mains power supply into mechanical energy to move the gears and hands of the clock. This mechanical energy is then used to store and release potential energy in a spring or weight mechanism, which regulates the motion of the clock hands in a controlled manner.
There are many moving parts of a clock, apart from the hands. Examples include a mainspring, or a weight suspended from a cord, the wheel train, and an oscillator.
A clock's hands.
In a mechanical clock, the mode of energy transformation involves converting potential energy stored in a wound spring or weight into mechanical energy to move the clock hands. In a Quartz clock, the mode of energy transformation involves converting electrical energy from a battery into mechanical vibrations of a Quartz crystal to regulate the timekeeping mechanism.
In an alarm clock, electrical energy from the battery or power outlet is transformed into mechanical energy to move the clock hands or generate sound energy for the alarm.
In a mechanical clock, the potential energy stored in the wound-up spring is transformed into kinetic energy as the spring unwinds and powers the clock's movement. This kinetic energy is then converted into rotational and oscillatory motion to keep the gears and hands of the clock moving accurately.
