[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

Wind being used as a source of energy isn’t new as it has been used ever since the invention of windmills and boats. Due to the fact that fossil fuels are the primary source of energy in the United States (along with other countries)‚ people have begun to look for other ways to get our energy. Though this topic relating to the energy issues always bring up controversy‚ in this essay I will tell you the two opposing views on wind farms and then tell you which viewpoint I agree with and why. Then‚

An increasingly popular option for a quick way to get a boost in energy is the energy drink. Lots of advertisements may be seen in many places stating that this product will give the consumer more energy‚ but does it? According to the Webster dictionary‚ an energy drink is defined as: “A usually carbonated beverage that typically contains caffeine and other ingredients intended to increase the drinker’s energy.” These types of drinks are advertised to enhance sports performance and overall mental

Thermal Imaging This article is about the infrared imaging technique. For the printing technique called thermography. Thermogram of a traditional building in the background and a "passive house" in the foreground Infrared thermography (IRT)‚ thermal imaging‚ and thermal video are examples of infrared imaging science. Thermal imaging cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 9‚000–14‚000 nanometers or 9–14 µm) and produce images of that radiation

A steel link‚ with no internal stresses‚ is pinned between two solid structures at a reference temperature of 0 C (273 K). One of the solid structures is heated to a temperature of 75 C (348 K). As heat is transferred

Renewable energy Renewable energy is any source of energy that doesn ’t consume the finite resources of the Earth and can be easily and quickly replenished. At present only a small proportion of the world ’s energy needs come from alternative and renewable energy sources. These exist in many forms including Solar Thermal‚ Photovoltaics‚ Wind‚ Hydro‚ Tidal/Wave and Bioenergy (including Biomass‚ Biogas and Biofuels). As with fossil fuels the sun ’s energy is the ultimate source of these energies.

Li‚ 1 2-16-13 Solar Energy: The Energy of the Future Our Earth’s resorvoir of resources seem to be limitless‚ but with the exponential growth of the human population; the need for efficient alternative energy sources is becoming urgent. Therefore‚ research companies and individuals are focusing on creating new energy systems. Fossil fuels are are depleting and becoming more difficult to obtain. The earth will face an energy crisis in the near future if humans are not careful with their consumption

Gravitation Gravitational field strength at a point is defined as the gravitational force per unit mass at that point. Newton’s law of gravitation: The (mutual) gravitational force F between two point masses M and m separated by a distance r is given by F = | GMm | (where G: Universal gravitational constant) | | r2 | | or‚ the gravitational force of between two point masses is proportional to the product of their masses & inversely proportional to the square of their separation.
