Energy Systems Our body needs a supply of energy to complete day to day tasks and to simply be able to move. We have more than one energy system‚ we have 3 in total and these are * ATP (anaerobic) * Lactic acid (anaerobic) * Aerobic (aerobic) All three off these energy systems are fuelled by the same chemical called ADP-PC. These systems produce this chemical at different speeds‚ for example the ATP system produces the chemical very fast as for the aerobic energy system produces it

Forms of Energy Energy exists in many forms‚ and when these change‚ energy is conserved. Different forms of energy include the following: Mechanical Thermal Chemical Electrical Electromagnetic Nuclear energy All of these types of energy have the ability to do work‚ which is also the definition of energy. Additionally‚ they have other properties‚ which are specific to their own specific form. Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is energy in the

An Argumentative Essay “Use of Nuclear Energy: Safe or Not?” 23 Aug Most countries today are becoming more and more dependent on nuclear power as a source of energy because of its high energy output and the availability of uranium used for fuelling nuclear reactors that generate power to provide electricity in households. Although using nuclear power as a source of energy has benefits like this‚ the danger posed by using nuclear power is very eminent. This was demonstrated in the recent Fukushima

WHAT IS THE YAKUZA? The yakuza are basically the Japanese mafia. However‚ traditional yakuza are very different to the mafia in other countries due to how the organisations themselves are not actually illegal. They are regulated and monitored. The biggest yakuza syndicates have huge office headquarters‚ the addresses of which are listed on the National Police Agency website. The top bosses even have business cards with corporate logos. Yakuza are very different to ordinary mafia in the way they

Energy conservation refers to reducing energy through using less of an energy service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use‚ which refers to using less energy for a constant service. For example‚ driving less is an example of energy conservation. Driving the same amount with a higher mileage vehicle is an example of energy efficiency. Energy conservation and efficiency are both energy reduction techniques. Even though energy conservation reduces energy services‚ it can result in

Heat energy Temperature – measure of the average KE of the particles in a substance‚ measured in degrees Celsius or degrees Kelvin. Celsius 0⁰C (freezing point of water) to 100⁰C (boiling point of water) Kelvin 0 K (absolute zero‚ particles stop moving theoretically)‚ equivalent to -273.15⁰C. Uses the same scale for increase‚ ie. a 1⁰C increase in temperature equates to a 1K increase in temperature. Heat – amount of energy transferred‚ measured in Joules (J) Kinetic Energy‚ Thermal

Renewable Energy INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Renewable energy is a new concept to some people but in actuality it has been around and talked about for many years. What it is is energy that comes from a source that is not depleted when used‚ and can be replenished. Some of these sources are wind‚ rain and sunlight. Renewable energy can replace the common standard fuels humans use in the generation of electricity‚ hot water and heating‚ and motor fuels (“How Solar Energy Works
