[Energy resources]: The 2 broad types Pros and Cons of each type Ways in which they are harnessed There two main types of energy these are: 1. Potential energy 2. Kinetic energy Potential energy Potential energy is energy stored due to position. The following are some example in which potential energy can be found. 1. Wound-up spring When a spring of a dock work toy car unwinds‚ the stored energy in the spring drives the wheels and the car moves. The wound-up spring is said to posse potential

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY OBJECTIVE The purpose of this experiment is to calculate the gravitational potential energy through experimental values‚ to calculate the theoretical potential energy given the experimental kinetic energy in an isolated system while also using the kinetic energy to find the spring constant‚ and to compare kinetic energies and potential energies in an isolated system to see if they are equivalent. METHOD To calculate the gravitational potential energy through experimental

We use energy to do work. Energy lights our cities. Energy powers our vehicles‚ trains‚ planes and rockets. Energy warms our homes‚ cooks our food‚ plays our music‚ gives us pictures on television. Energy powers machinery in factories and tractors on a farm. Energy from the sun gives us

Harnessing of Solar Energy: Photosynthesis versus Semiconductor Based Solar Cell Photosynthesis and semiconductor-based solar cells are both used to harness solar energy from the sun – photosynthesis for plants and semiconductor based solar cells for human beings. Photosynthesis consists of light reactions and dark reactions. It is a process in which carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ water (H2O) and light energy are utilized to synthesize an energy-rich carbohydrate like glucose (C6H12O6) and to produce

Mass–energy equivalence From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation‚ search "E=MC2" redirects here. For other uses‚ see E=MC2 (disambiguation). 3-meter-tall sculpture of Einstein’s 1905 E = mc2 formula at the 2006 Walk of Ideas‚ Berlin‚ GermanyIn physics‚ mass–energy equivalence is the concept that the mass of a body is a measure of its energy content. In this concept the total internal energy E of a body at rest is equal to the product of its rest mass m and a suitable conversion

Definition of a Net-Zero Energy Home A Net-Zero Energy Home (NZEH) is “capable of producing‚ at minimum‚ an annual output of renewable energy that is equal to the total amount of its annual consumed/purchased energy from energy utilities” and emits zero net carbon (1). This concept is becoming increasingly popular as people are becoming more aware of the effects of buildings on the environment. However‚ to build a net-zero home‚ in-depth design considerations to minimize “the energy requirements for

Outline the argument that supermarket power is a “zero-sum”game Before we discuss the argument let us understand first what the terms “power” and “zero-sum” mean. Power is a complex term used denote influence‚ control and domination‚ (Taylor‚ et al‚ 2009‚p.59). The power used by supermarkets includes buying and market power. The big four supermarkets in the U.K. account for approximately 75% of the food and groceries market therefore giving them significant market power. Their buying power is the

SCH4U0 The Energy of Physical‚ Chemical‚ & Nuclear Processes The study of energy and energy transfer is known as thermodynamics. When this study of energy transfer is specific to energy involved in chemical reactions it is called thermochemistry. Studying Energy Changes The Law of Conservation of Energy states that the total energy of the universe is constant. (Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. [pic] Energy can be transferred from one substance to another‚ and it can also

Energy is needed by the body to stay alive‚ grow‚ keep warm and move around. Energy is provided by food and drink. It comes from the fat‚ carbohydrate‚ protein and alcohol the diet contains. Energy requirements vary from one individual to the next‚ depending on factors such as age‚ sex‚ body composition and physical activity level. Energy expenditure is the sum of the basal metabolic rate (the amount of energy expended while at complete rest)‚ the thermic effect of food (TEF‚ the energy required
