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

Waste-to-energy Taking Care of Garbage Michelle Rowland Buena Vista University Waste-to-energy Taking Care of Garbage We all have to share this world with its limited resources. We must take advantage of all resources we have‚ regardless if they came from the earth‚ are man made‚ or are waste products. The average person in America throws away 3.7 pounds of garbage every day (Resource Recovery Public Works‚ 2009). It is no surprise that this leads to landfills that are filling faster

An energy crisis is any great bottleneck) (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. In popular literature though‚ it often refers to one of the energy sources used at a certain time and place. Causes Market failure is possible when monopoly manipulation of markets occurs. A crisis can develop due to industrial actions like union organized strikes and government embargoes. The cause may be over-consumption‚ aging infrastructure‚ choke point disruption or bottlenecks at

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. Can you imagine what life would be like if we did energy? Every year the United

Why should we save energy in schools? Saving energy leads to reduce carbon emissions‚lower costs and conserves the supplies we have.They are also working in support with high schools to support energy efficiency."We believe energy efficiency is the cheapest and cleanest form of "new" energy the world has." - energy efficiency unit of Chevron.Even though energy suppliers want your business‚ they are looking for more of an investment instead of wasting energy when it isn’t necessary. They believe

Topic Canada should subsidize renewable energy options such as wind and solar power in order to increase the share of renewables in Canada’s energy balance. Introduction Canada government subsidizes a number of socially beneficial services‚ including health care‚ education and energy services. Subsidies to the energy sector mainly are for oil and gas production‚ however‚ they are not all socially beneficial[figure 1]. In fact‚ they have negative impact for the environment and hinder

Almost every country stood by and watched as the bombs made by the simple process of fission of two atomic particles produced enough power to destroy

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

Solar Energy Alternative energy resources are being closely evaluated because of the depletion of nonrenewable resources‚ such as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources have damaged earth because of the amount of pollution that is released some‚ in which is known as Carbon Dioxide. Massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide are that is released into our environment every year further damaging our planet. Scientist has been effectively working on ways of conserving energy that is

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
