The quality of energy decreases when you use it due to the second law of thermodynamics. Essentially, the energy spent from various reactions is processed, which reduces the amount of work needed to extract it.

∙ 12y agoThe change in amount of useable energy (Gibb's Free energy ) is given by the expression:
Δ G = ΔH - T ΔS
G = free energy,
H = enthalpy,
S = entropy.
the equation evidently emply that:
warkable energy decreases with increase in entropy (i.e., randomness) and decrease in enthalpy.

What is the energy called when mechanical energy decreases and temperature increases?
Force
Why are the numbers of organisms smaller at high levels of an energy pyramid?
The energy pyramid shows how the amount of useful energy, food, decreases as organisms in that level use it. Even though a lot of energy may be taken in at any level, more energy in the form of food that is available to the next level, is stored on the bottom level and decreases at each level as you move to the top of the pyramid. Thus, there is much less energy to support organisms at the top, so there are fewer in most communities.
How does energy associated with waves change as wavelength changes?
Using this equation will help you understand what is going on: E=hc/wavelength h and c are constants. As wavelength increases, energy decreases. This is why UV radiation (which has a very small wavelength) has more energy than visible radiation, and this is also why UV radiation causes damage to living things
Objects that are able to fall have what type of energy?
When a body is supported at a height, it has potential energy. When it is released, it will start to fall. As the downward velocity increases, so kinetic energy increases. The potential energy is reduced as the height of the body decreases.
The amount of power derived from a device or system is its?
That amount is always less than the energy you put into the system. Divide the amount of useful energy you get from a system by the amount of energy you put into it, and you find the system's 'efficiency'.
As the temperature of a gas decreases what changes occurs in the amount of kinetic energy?
The amount of kinetic energy increases.
As the temperature of a gas decreases what change occurs in the amount of kinetic energy?
The amount of kinetic energy increases.
How does the amount of energy in the light changes as the wavelength increases?
The energy of the photons decreases as the wavelength increases
What happens to the amount of energy as ittransferred from one cosumer to another?
the amount of energy decreases the further up the food chain you go
What happens to the amount of energy that can be carried as the wavelength decreased?
As wavelength decreases, energy increases, because the two are inversely related. Conversely, as wavelength decreases, frequency increases.
The least useable form of energy is?
The form of energy is that is least useable is heat. Heat is normally a waste product, that is released when other form of energy are used.
What amount of energy dreseases?
Total energy is always conserved. However, it is possible to convert one type of energy to another. With some limitations, you can usually convert many types of energy to many other types. Whenever this happens, the amount of one type of energy decreases, while the amount of another energy increases. For example: if an object falls down, its potential energy decreases; its kinetic energy increases. Once it crashes to the floor, its kinetic energy is converted into heat - in other words, kinetic energy decreases, while heat energy increases.
Relationship between cloud cover and the amount of energy that hits the Earth?
increase cloud cover decreases energy
Why does an enzyme function like a catalyst in a reaction?
It decreases the amount of energy needed for the reaction.
Is solar energy a useable energy?
Solar energy is indeed a useable source of power. There are many companies and businesses that use solar energy as an alternative power source to other energy sources such as oil or fuel.
How is solar energy source collected and then turned into useable energy?
i don t
What do radiant energy decreases or increases with?
The radiant energy increases as the frequency increase and the radiant energy decreases as the frequency decreases.
