Atomic energy is energy produced by atoms. The term originated in 1903 when Ernest Rutherford began to speak of the possibility ofatomic energy.[1] The term was popularized by H. G. Wells in the phrase‚ "splitting the atom"‚ devised at a time prior to the discovery of the nucleus. Atomic energy also may refer to: * Nuclear binding energy‚ the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom * Nuclear potential energy‚ the potential energy of the particles inside an atomic nucleus * Nuclear

First of all‚ we know that the sun and wind energy are the most advance alternative energy. Today‚ mankind are beginning to look for energy that will support their life for the next century. So I could not think other than sun and wind energy as the best alternative energy resources‚ however it still needs a lot of development. The sun radiates vast amount of energy‚ which nourishes all life on earth and is the driving force behind the planets weather patterns and other natural cycles. In order

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY Geothermal energy is one of the oldest sources of energy. It is simply using and reusing (reusable energy) heat from the inside of the earth. Most of the geothermal energy comes from magma‚ molten or partially molten rock. Which is why most geothermal resources come from regions where there are active volcanoes. Hot springs‚ geysers‚ pools of boiling mud‚ and fumaroles are the most easily exploited sources. The ancient Romans used hot springs to heat baths and homes‚ and

SOLAR ENERGY Our environment is in a fatal state any move could cost us the world. We need to work with the environment and not against it‚ we need to use what it is giving us every day and not every million year‚ once it is gone it is gone. Instead of using fossil fuels and having them burn to waste use solar energy and use what the sun gives us every day. Solar energy is an effective alternative source because there is very little pollution‚ they cut down on fossil fuels and are cost effective

ENERGY RESOURCE PLAN Conserving energy is important to our society because it can extend the life time of non-renewable resources. Examples of these are oils‚ coal ‚ and gas. It also minimizes the use of larger more dangerous and environmentally damaging sources ‚such as deep sea oil and tar deposits. Currently the world produces 20 million barrels of oil each year. One-third of that is used by the United Sates. Concidering that only %35 of an oil well can be recoverd one-third is a lot to consume

Lab #7: Thermal Energy Heat is thermal energy being transferred from one place to another‚ because of temperature changes. This can take place by three processes. These three processes are known as conduction‚ convection‚ and radiation. When we place two objects with different temperatures in contact with each other‚ the heat from the hotter object will immediately and automatically flow to the colder object. This is known as conduction. Some objects make excellent conductors of heat while
