SOLAR ENERGY INTRODUCTION SOLAR ENERGY is the radiant energy that we receive from the sun in the form of heat and light. It is an inexhaustible source of energy. Solar Energy is the ultimate source of most of the sources of energy that we use. The wind energy‚ water energy‚ energy of fossil fuels and the energy in food are due to solar energy. SOURCE OF SOLAR ENERGY The discovery of radioactivity led some scientists to suggest that the energy released during radioactive decay of radioactive

forces involved. Two of the main forces experienced are called potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy an object has depending on the position of it. For example the higher an object is the higher the potential energy is and the lower an object is the less potential energy it will have. Kinetic energy is also a main type of force that is involved with rollercoasters. Kinetic energy is the energy an object will have as it is in motion. There are many different types of

release of nuclear energy occurs when the nuclei of atoms are changed. Hydrogen and uranium are two kinds of matter used to produce nuclear energy. In a nuclear reaction‚ the tremendous binding energy inside a hydrogen or uranium nucleus is released. Nuclear energy is released during atomic fission‚ when uranium nuclei are split. It is also released during fusion‚ when hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus. In fission and fusion‚ nuclear energy produces thermal energy‚ which is given

Energy systems Creatine Phosphate system The creatine phosphate system is an immediate energy system. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is created without the presence of oxygen for short‚ fast bursts of power and energy. This is the first system used when performing any sporting activity. However this short burst of energy only lasts for a short moment in time for round about 10 seconds. Running events like the 100 meters sprint would be an example of using the creatine phosphate system. During the

more than enough energy to satisfy global energy needs for an entire year. Solar energy is the technology used to harness the sun’s energy and make it useable. Solar Energy is the energy from the Sun. The Sun is a big ball of heat and light resulting from nuclear fusion at its core. The nuclear reaction releases energy that travels outward to the surface of the Sun. Along the way to the surface the energy transforms so that by the time it is released it is primarily light energy. The two major

WAVE ENERGY Chapter 2: Energy Technology 2.1 Source of Wave Energy Ocean waves are caused by the wind as it blows across the open expanse of water‚ the gravitational pull from the sun and moon‚ and changes in atmospheric pressure‚ earthquakes etc. Waves created by the wind are the most common waves and the waves relevant for most wave energy technology. Wave energy conversion takes advantage of the ocean waves caused primarily by the interaction of winds with the ocean surface. Wave energy is an

Energy drinks should be regulated due to the fact that they cause health problems and the consumer is not aware because there are minimal‚ if any‚ labels. They claim to have some nutritional value in them said to give a “quick burst of energy.” In today’s market‚ there are so many different types of energy drinks that teenagers consume like Monster and Red Bull. Within these drinks there are numerous ingredients that may lead to some health risks. It has been requested from the Food and Drug Administration

with a Nutritionist about Energy Drinks Have you ever asked yourself if energy drinks are good or bad for your health? Well‚ that question came to my mind and many more. I see energy drinks everywhere I go‚ and that makes me feel intrigued. I see them in commercials‚ movies‚ my work‚ and school. It looks like it is cool to drink them. I have a lot of friends that drink energy drinks every day. I don’t know the side effects‚ but what I know is that energy drinks became very popular

know that energy drinks put more than 10‚000 people in the hospital in 2016. Many people think that energy drinks should be age restricted. Energy drinks have a lot of calories‚ sugar‚ and caffeine. Energy drinks should be banned because they are dangerous‚ abused‚ and children can not handle it. Energy drinks are very dangerous. One energy drink increases your heart rate‚ increases blood pressure‚ and puts a large amount of sugar in your body. If you consume large amounts of energy drinks it actually
