Energy Story Summary
In the passage "Energy Story" it explains the basis of how electricity works. The purpose of this is to teach you about protons, neutrons, electrons, etc. it teaches you the negative, positive charges and how it works. Also includes things like conductors and insulators. Some examples of this is like how copper, aluminum and steel are good conductors or how rubber, plastic, and glass are great for insulating electricity. Some experiments that are shown in this passage is making positive and negative charges by using unbalanced or balanced electrons and protons.

In the next story "Conducting Solutions" it tells you about how mixtures of certain materials can change the output of the electricity. The propose

    In the Energy Story, the author tells us that we use a lot of energy and in a lot of different things. They tell us how the structure of the atom looks and how the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons affect how much energy that element can produce. If there are more electrons the element does not conduct any energy and if there are more…

    A 2kilogram block is released from rest at the top of a curved incline in the shape of a quarter of a circle of radius R. The block then slides onto a horizontal plane where it finally comes to rest 8 meters from the beginning of the plane. The curved incline is frictionless, but there is an 8newton force of friction on the block while it slides horizontally. Assume g = 10 meters per second2.…

    Summary Sometimes we inadvertently make choices that change our lives and possibly history. Such was the case when William Kamkwamba, an inquisitive boy from Malawi, took apart a broken radio to discover how it worked. From that moment he was hooked on figuring out electricity, how it functioned and what it could do. Scouring dump yards for parts to repair radios and cell phones became his favorite hobby. He would go to the small public library and check out books on electricity and would read and reread those pages until he understood more than his teachers.…

    Modern conveniences have shaped our lives. Energy and its many uses help to keep humans safe, feed, and mobile. These modern abilities have also created a strain on our environment and the natural resources that make this existence possible. Currently electric for our community is generated by coal and our water is processes by electric. Our fossil fuels are on the brink of extinction, making the actions we take now more vital than ever. Creating an implemented plan that changes our current consumption of fossil fuels, will perpetuate a cleaner community, stabilize eco-systems, and provide a future for the generations to come. Harnessing renewable natural resources will allow the earth to heal because renewable resources are cleaner, efficient, and readily available.…

    Imagine the U.S. without cars, motorcycles, planes, or boats. The daily lives of U.S. citizens would be completely different. The common denominator for all those modes of transportation is that they run on gas, which is made from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas are nonrenewable resources. They will run out one day and that’s what the U.S. relies on for gas and electricity. Renewable energy such as solar, wind, and hydropower are infinite sources. The U.S. depends on the finite resources of fossil fuels greatly, yet they have the ability to use renewable energy. The oil boom dates back to Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller and some say that fossil fuels have reached the end of their…

    There are 7 billion of us in the world today, and were facing some huge problems. But talk doesn't help someone out of poverty, awareness alone does not reduce pollution, increase and grow food production, or heal the sick. That takes a lot of doing and patience. The solutions are in our grasp. Many great inventions that are being created are capable of creating clean energy, make fresh water, and that improve our overall health. Although it is probably going to sound like a story of Manoj Bhargava the founder of 5-Hour Energy, it will also be an informative article that explains in detail how he is willing to help the entire world with just simple inventions.…

    David E. Nye, in his essay Energy and the Environment, charts the development of human energy systems. The very first one was human muscle and although it did not change environments significantly, it was necessary up until the early 20th century (506). The second system consisted of ships, mills, and domesticated animals; this system allowed for the formation of small urban societies. The third system harnessed water power with large dams and water-powered factories and helped initiate industrialization. The fourth system relied on the steam engine, which ensured year-round manufacturing and transportation capabilities for goods. In the 20th century, America developed electricity, oil, and…

    The amount of energy that the world uses is undeniably tragic and we may not have influence over the national use of energy but we have every opportunity to change ours. Guam is an island of intimate relations, a vast network of cause and effect. There are many ways to sufficiently monitor our use of energy usage ranging from the smallest of acts; cutting down on computer hours, remembering to flip the light switch, or even the simple act of using the stairs instead of an escalator, to the largest of acts; using a bike instead of a car or even air-drying our laundry. We are not only doing our island a favor through sufficient energy procedures but we are doing ourselves a favor as well. The state of our economy is unquestionably in par with our usage of energy, as the uses of energy rises so will our bills. Through cause and effect every choice we make comes hand in hand with an equally weighed consequence. We have the ability to control our choices therefore we control the consequences. If we can make the right choices in energy efficiency then we can achieve the right outcome. Imagine a project for the entire island introducing a more efficient use of insulation, not only would we attain cooler conditions indoors but we would substantially lower the use of energy and our bill towards that. A utopia of efficient energy uses is not far from sight, it is possible by acknowledging the problem, making a choice, and taking action. We live in a “paradise”, so let us be true to that word; energy efficiency, not only good for us, but good for…
