Forms of Energy Energy exists in many forms‚ and when these change‚ energy is conserved. Different forms of energy include the following: Mechanical Thermal Chemical Electrical Electromagnetic Nuclear energy All of these types of energy have the ability to do work‚ which is also the definition of energy. Additionally‚ they have other properties‚ which are specific to their own specific form. Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is energy in the

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

For thousands of years‚ religions the world over have extolled the benefits of meditation and quiet contemplation. In Islam and Catholicism‚ Judaism and Buddhism‚ Hinduism and Taoism‚ and in religious practice from the Americas to Africa to Asia‚ the value of sitting quietly‚ using various techniques to cultivate stillness or focused attention of the mind‚ has been well recognized. The goals of religious meditation extend far beyond its potential physical health benefits and also extend beyond the

Calculating Efficiency. Efficiency (%) = Useful Energy Out x 100 Total Energy In Questions 1) A light bulb takes in 30J of energy per second. It transfers 3J as useful light energy and 27J as heat energy. Calculate the efficiency. 2) A kettle takes in 2000J of energy per second. It transfers 1500J as useful heat energy and 500J is wasted as sound energy. Calculate the efficiency of the kettle. Remember: In the exam they may not

Potential Energy Potential Energy is a type of energy that does not involve motion. It is the energy that is stored up. The more work done to change an object’s position or shape‚ the more potential energy it has. For example‚ a person on a ladder has more potential energy than a person on the ground because they have done more work to get up there. Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion. The more work an object has done‚ the more kinetic energy it has. the amount of kinetic

Alternative energy resources What are Alternative energy resources?? It is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. It is a form of energy derived from a natural source‚ such as the sun‚ wind‚ tides‚ or waves and are also known as “Renewable Energy” that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment. They are considered alternatives because they can be future replacements for the fossil fuels that now meet a considerable portion of our energy needs. What Energy Resources

2008 Energy conservation is the elimination or reduction of energy we and waste every. Energy is a very important to our society. We use energy for everything transportation‚ cooking‚ heating and cooling‚ manufacturing‚ lighting‚ and entertainment. Energy is the vital force powering business‚ manufacturing‚ and the transportation of goods and services to serve the American and world economies.

Energy is the ability to do work. It is important because every object we produce requires energy; for example transport‚ growth‚ and development. Humans and all other things get energy from the sun. Some forms of energy are kinetic‚ potential‚ thermal‚ chemical‚ electrical‚ and mechanical. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Potential energy is the energy which results from a position or configuration. Thermal‚ or heat‚ energy is the energy a substance or system has related to its temperature

Dark energy what is it? Dark energy is a unknown energy said to take up 70 percent of the universe. The energy is a repulsive gravitational effect that is causing the universe to accelerate out-ward. No one knows exactly what dark energy is or where it comes from. Dark Energy is a new idea. Little is known about dark energy‚ yet it takes up a huge amount if the universe. Scientist were able to show the universe was expanding at an accelerated rate by measuring the red-shift of an object by comparing
