Yes. All power stations do that.

∙ 9y agoelectrical energy to mechanical energy
Basically any device that needs to be plugged in so it could move would be an object that endures the transformation from mechanical to electrical energy. Those classroom objects could be a fan or a pencil sharpener.
One method which this could happen is you have mechanical energy, lets say you riding a bike, and attach a turbine to it which converts your mechanical energy into electrical energy. You then plug a light bulb into that, and the electric energy is converted into light.
Motors come in different forms but mainly internal combustion (gasoline and diesel) and electric. Combustion engines use the chemical energy in the fuel, electric motors use electric energy from a power plant.
Really a physics question which could go on for pages to be explained properly by someone in the know. To the layman it is Electron flow in the heating wire (electrical resistance) causing a collision at the atomic level producing radiant heat.

Could be the total of coal and nuclear
You could for instance convert the nuclear energy to mechanical or electrical energy and use it to pump water up into a high reservoir, where it will have potential energy.
