Calories: The name calorie is used for two units of energy. Although these units are part of the metric system‚ they have been superseded in the International System of Units by the joule. One small calorie is approximately 4.2 joules. Calories are also most known to be used in foods and diet‚ which is key to athletes. Joules: A Joule is equal to the energy transferred to an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre. Kilocalories:

December 1st‚ 2012 GLBS 101 Research Paper: Nonconventional sources of Oil and Gas I chose an unorthodox global theme to research and learn more about‚ because much of society is clueless as to how we obtain some of our resources. I’ve always had an interest in the environment and how we as humans affect it. So it only makes sense that the topic I chose to discuss is nonconventional sources of oil and gas. The main two sources I wanted to better understand are Hydraulic Fracturing and Oil

RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES ABSTRACT The electricity requirements of the world including India are increasing at alarming rate and the power demand has been running ahead of supply. It is also now widely recognized that the fossil fuels (i.e.‚ coal‚ petroleum and natural gas) and other conventional resources‚ presently being used for generation of electrical energy‚ may not be either sufficient or suitable to keep pace with ever increasing demand of the electrical energy of the

“Alternative sources of Energy" In the not-too-distant future -- with regard to history’s time-line -- there will come a point when oil that is fossil fuels will have been depleted. However‚ waiting until supplies are exhausted would place a major hardship upon future energy demands. Even the existence of other conventional sources such as hydropower‚ wind energy and biomass will not suffice keeping in mind the rapid advancement. It is therefore imperative to look for alternative sources of energy in order

and Nonrenewable Energy Energy can be explained as having the ability to do work. There are many forms of energy potential‚ electrical‚ chemical and magnetic just to name a few. Energy is used for everything an individual must do from preparing a meal to launching a rocket. There are two general categories of energy: potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is energy that has been saved waiting to be discharged including chemical‚ electrical and magnetic. Kinetic energy is energy that

ENERGY SOURCES AROUND THE WORLD Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the various type of energy source used around the world. Central Idea: Every country has its own way to generate energy which utilizes different methods and its efficiency can be explained by several factors. INTRODUCTION I. Energy is very important in our life especially in the modern world we live in today. So‚ can you imagine how our life will be without electricity and how it will affect our civilization

Need for Renewable Energy Sources Columbia Southern University Abstract An every growing population results in an every growing demand for energy. Energy is needed to power almost every aspect of our lives. Energy sources are defined as either non-renewable or renewable‚ with each having different impacts on the environment and the economy. Most of the environmental impacts today are a result of the dependence of fossil fuels. Renewable energy sources like solar‚ wind
