Energy Nothing can live without energy. People‚ animals and plants need energy to live and machines need energy to work. Today‚ most of the energy we use still comes from fossil fuels like coal‚ oil and gas‚ which have been formed underground over millions of years. We called these non-renewable forms of energy because they can only be used once. Because of this‚ we need to reduce our use of non-renewable fuel and use more renewable forms of energy like that from the sun‚ wind or geothermal

The Effect of Gravity on the Human Body According to the NASA Glenn Research Center‚ the nominal acceleration of gravity on Earth at sea level AKA standard gravity AKA “g-force” AKA “1 g” is defined as 32 feet per second. Sneezing subjects your brain to about 3 g and coughing about 3.5 g. The frame of airliners and other transport aircraft must be capable of withstanding a g-force of 2.5 g. A race car driver going around a curve at 100 MPH will experience a g-force of approximately 3

Renewable energy is energy from natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ and geothermal heat‚ these resources are naturally replenished. Renewable energy does not harm the environment or deplete any of our natural resources like fossil fuel. Renewable energy is not subject to sharp price changes because it comes from natural resources. Biomass is currently the largest U.S. renewable energy source with more than two hundred existing bio power plants providing energy for one point five

I will be informing you about nuclear energy. Prior to giving this information‚ let’s look at some history. Ancient Greek philosophers were the first to come up with the idea that matter is made up of invisible particles. The Greeks called these invisible particles "atoms"‚ which is Greek for invisible. Scientists studied this idea in the 18th and 19th centuries. After many experiments physicists found out that atoms contain a large amount of energy. Ernest Rutherford‚ a British scientist
