Conservation of Energy In explaining the laws of conservation of energy‚ energy cannot be destroyed or made. Although‚ energy can be transformed or transferred from one form to another‚ for example: The total amount of energy in any system never changes but stays constant over time. Second example: Coal is burned‚ and then used as thermal energy for heat‚ next the steam is used for mechanical energy. Energy is never destroyed but changed to forms like thermal energy‚ gravitational energy‚ electromagnetic

The Universe and Our Galaxies The Universe and Our Galaxies Examples of Elliptical (Messier 87 ) and Spiral Galaxies (NGC 3559) Examples of Elliptical (Messier 87 ) and Spiral Galaxies (NGC 3559) Edwin Hubble was one of the first people to actually realise what a galaxy is‚ the measurement of the “Hubble Tuning Fork” Classification scheme shows how round or rightly wound their “arms” are. E0 means that an elliptical galaxy is extremely round‚ whilst E7 is flat. However not all galaxies

Introduction The energy consumed in Spain every day‚ both for the industrial sector‚ as for domestic consumers comes from multiple forms of primary energy sources‚ from which we get electricity. It is important to consider where these primary energy sources come from‚ and the value year after year the degree of self-sufficiency that primary energy resources have in Spain. The energy sector accounts for about 2.5% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product. However‚ this sector has a greater importance

Solar water disinfection Solar water disinfection is a type of water purification system that uses solar energy in order to make contaminated water safe to drink. This is done by eliminating contagious biological organisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ protozoa and worms. This process can only be taken place on biological agents non-biological agents such as toxic chemicals or heavy metals disinfection may not make all kinds of water safe to drink. Therefore additional steps away from disinfection

Aleksander Tucker 21 April 2013 ECS 310 Wind and Solar Power Wind and solar power are the future. They are clean‚ renewable‚ and infinite sources of energy and allow for energy to be produced domestically. They are also complimentary; Wind and solar energy will also be economically beneficial. Maintenance is easy‚ and long-term cost is a great advantage. Wind turbines and solar panels can also be very aesthetically attractive‚ and people can comfortably live around them. Human health risk is

Lesson 1: Our Solar System What makes up our solar system? When we think of the solar system most of us think of eight planets orbiting around the sun. However‚ the solar system is a lot more complicated‚ larger and exciting than this simple description. The solar system is a gravitationally bound system with all the objects in this system revolving around the sun. The eight planets revolving around the sun are: Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ Mars‚ Jupitar‚ Saturn‚ Neputune‚ Uranus and Pluto. However‚ the
