Forms of Energy CHEMICAL Energy Chemical energy is stored in the bonds between atoms. This stored energy is released and absorbed when bonds are broken and new bonds are formed – chemical reactions. Chemical reactions change the way atoms are arranged. NUCLEAR Energy Nuclear energy is the stored potential of the nucleus‚ or center‚ of an individual atom. Most atoms are stable on Earth; they retain their identities as particular elements‚ like hydrogen‚ helium‚ iron‚ and carbon‚ as identified

is their difference in momentum? What is their difference in kinetic energy? 2. A 12 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 96 g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact‚ the block slides 7.5 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.60‚ what was the speed of the bullet immediately before impact? You have to use the conservation of the total energy of the system to do this problem: Initially‚ you have‚ in the total

Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves and geothermal heat. Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in four distinct areas: electricity generation‚ hot water/space heating‚ motor fuels‚ and rural (off-grid) energy services. About 16% of global final energy consumption presently comes from renewable resources‚ with 10% of all energy from traditional biomass‚ mainly

INTRODUCTION Energy is the basic necessity for life. But for energy no form of life would have ever emerged. We all know energy for providing us light and comfort. It can help us to cool down during summers and feel warm during winters. It also helps us to go from one place to another. All automobiles need energy to run; but even otherwise all other means of transport need energy. But even though we use it every moment of our life and learn about it at school it often remains a riddle

Reusable Energy: The Cleaner and Cheaper Alternative Tom Harper HUM/114 July 15‚ 2013 Mark Spinler Reusable Energy: The Cleaner and Cheaper Alternative Over the past ten years‚ reusable energy has been the topic of so many law makers and just about every American tax payer around. As the energy rates continue to rise‚ we are constantly looking at new ways to save on household energy costs. We conserve energy by turning off lights‚ washing clothes during early morning or late evening hours

KINETIC ENERGY Objects have energy because of their motion; this energy is called kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of the objects having mass m and velocity v can be calculated with the formula given below; K=1/2mv² Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity; it does not have a direction. Unlike velocity‚ acceleration‚ force‚ and momentum‚ the kinetic energy of an object is completely described by magnitude alone. Like work and potential energy‚ the standard metric unit of measurement for kinetic energy is

DISCUSSION: TOPIC: ENERGY CRISES: Cause Of Energy Crisis In Pakistan: Energy is now the talk of town in Pakistan. Starting from house wives‚ traders‚ businessmen‚ students‚ ministers all the victims of the shortage of energy. Karachi the biggest city experiencing up to 12 hours load shedding in peak hot weather and during the board exams are on the way. Every body now became the expert of energy and all the figures are on finger tips. some time the shortage is 200 MW some time 2500 MW. energy admin seriously

Excel sheets to support your answers. 1. How are Mortensen’s estimates of Midland’s cost of capital used? How‚ if at all‚ should these anticipated uses affect the calculations? Janet Mortensen‚ Senior Vice President of project finance for Midland Energy Resources has calculated yearly annual cost of capital investments for Midland and each of its three divisions. The three divisions consist of oil and gas Exploration and Production (E&P)‚ Refining and Marketing (R&M) and Petrochemicals.

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
