Energy crisis is a major challenge that should be overcome in modern times when people have embraced the use of electric devices in performing various activities. Consequently‚ the use of these electric devices leads to heavy consumption of electric power that calls for the adoption of energy efficient appliances. Energy efficiency refers to reduced use of energy in a given service (Dorsi & Krigger‚ 2008). The reduced consumption of energy is as a result of technological advancement as well as from

source of energy? Energy is essential for life. We use it in factories‚ in cars‚ airplanes‚ trains and ships. To heat food‚ light our houses etc. However‚ energy consumption is different in different countries. Since always human beings have used energy sources to do work or produce heat. Firstly‚ they used domestic animals or their physical forces. After‚ they used the wind and the water. Then‚ they exploited the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. In the near future we hope new energy sources

potential energy to hit the target cup. Energy is the ability to do work. Potential energy is the energy of position and kinetic energy is the energy of motion. In order for the ramp to be successful‚ the ramp had to have the right amount of potential and kinetic energy. If you have too much potential energy than the marble would have too much kinetic energy and the marble would not land inside of the target cup‚ it will go right over the top of it. If you have too little potential energy then the

Energy in food lab report Aim: How much energy there is in food. Hypothesis: If I work out how much the water temperature has risen by burning food underneath water‚ the mass of the water and the mass of food I can work out how much energy was in the food. Introduction: This experiment is about how much energy there is in food. There are a few different types of energy‚ the one we are looking at is chemical energy. Some other types of energy are: thermal energy which is heat‚ magnetic energy which

RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES ABSTRACT The electricity requirements of the world including India are increasing at alarming rate and the power demand has been running ahead of supply. It is also now widely recognized that the fossil fuels (i.e.‚ coal‚ petroleum and natural gas) and other conventional resources‚ presently being used for generation of electrical energy‚ may not be either sufficient or suitable to keep pace with ever increasing demand of the electrical energy of the

Nuclear Energy and the Environment In our society‚ nuclear energy has become one of the most criticized forms of energy by the environmentalists. Thus‚ a look at nuclear energy and the environment and its impact on economic growth. Lewis Munford‚ an analyst‚ once wrote‚ "Too much energy is as fatal as too little‚ hence the regulation of energy input and output not its unlimited expansion‚ is in fact one of the main laws of life." This is true when dealing with nuclear power. Because
