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

Water conservation refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning‚ manufacturing‚ and agricultural irrigation. Water conservation programs are typically initiated at the local level‚ by either municipal water utilities or regional governments. Common strategies include public outreach campaigns‚ tiered water rates (charging progressively higher prices as water use increases)‚ or restrictions on outdoor water use such as lawn watering

Laboratory V: Conservation of Momentum Problem #1: Perfectly Inelastic Collisions John Greavu April 17‚ 2013 Physics 1301W‚ Professor: Evan Frodermann‚ TA: Mark Pepin Abstract A cart was given an initial velocity toward another stationary cart down a track. The initial velocity of the first cart as well as the masses of both carts was varied throughout multiple trials. Velcro placed on the ends of the carts caused the cars to stick together after colliding. Videos of the collision and the seconds
