INTRODUCTION * Background of the study: Pakistan has been facing an unprecedented energy crisis since the last few years. The problem becomes more severe during summers. However‚ this winter was no different. During the peak crisis there was a power outage of 3-4 hours everyday. Those without generators and

Introduction The guiding question for this lab was what is the best height that will give the marble the potential energy to hit the target cup. Energy is the ability to do work. Potential energy is the energy of position and kinetic energy is the energy of motion. In order for the ramp to be successful‚ the ramp had to have the right amount of potential and kinetic energy. If you have too much potential energy than the marble would have too much kinetic energy and the marble would not land inside of

Kentaurus Webster Ms. Mulvanny 8th Grade Science December 13‚ 2012 What Causes Mold on bread? The question I am trying to answer is what causes mold on bread. I think that mold is fungus. Mold spores are everywhere: in the air‚ on your kitchen counters‚ on your skin etc. Mold likes to grow in environments where they can find nutrients like bread. When mold spores find a nice environment‚ they "hatch" and then begin to eat and reproduce. This is when you see the lovely green and white fuzz

amongst environmentalists‚ politicians and the oil industry. The North Slope is home to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge‚ as well as the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field and the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4‚ the first oil-drilling site in the state. The government established the 12-million acre Reserve No. 4 in 1923 as a way to supply oil for ensuring national security. There are many arguments for and against the expansion of oil-drilling in Alaska. These arguments are: Economic * Oil is a highly

in engines. Reduction in embodied energy There is a close relationship between the energy we use and global warming. We can therefore try to reduce the amount of energy we use in construction by specifying materials that have lower embodied energy. Natural timber products are excellent examples as they absorb carbon during growth and cost little to convert into a useable construction product. Cement –based products‚ contain high levels of embedded energy‚ careful consideration should be given

This paper states why energy insecurity is a problem in Indonesia‚ how it was identified‚ its causes and the current responses to solve this problem. The engineering solutions would focus on sustainability and affordability‚ without compromising future generation energy needs in Indonesia. International Energy Agency defines energy security as the “uninterrupted availability of energy sources at affordable prices”. Currently Indonesia faces the lack of long term energy security. This is evident

Energy of a Tossed Ball Project PURPOSE: The purpose for the students of the Energy of a Tossed Ball Lab involved learning how to measure the change in kinetic and potential energies as a ball moves in free fall. Since there is no frictional forces working on the ball the total energy will remain constant and the students will see how the total energy of the ball changes during free fall. HYPOTHESIS: 1. The ball has potential energy while momentarily at rest at the top of the path. 2

Is Nuclear Energy Safe? Atomic energy is the released by a nuclear reaction. Nuclear energy is an alternative for things that produce energy like coal‚ wind‚ or other natural resources. The use of nuclear energy in the world has had a huge impact on the economic qualities of countries. When countries use nuclear energy they are putting the people in risk of radioactive poison and cancer. Some people argue that nuclear energy is worth the risk if it saves money‚ but nuclear is too risky because
