The what energy of water in a dam is increased by raising the level of water behind the dam?
Potential Energy
Why did the US slow its construction of nuclear plants in the 1980's?
There were increasing concerns about safety due to some high-profile disasters involving nuclear power plants - particularly at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. They were also very costly to build, and not necessarily as economical as other sources of energy (such as oil).
Why generator rotor speed reduces when load in the grid is increased?
FOR A CONSTANT POWER INPUT i.e THE GENERATION IS CONSTANT AND IF THE LOAD IS INCREASED THEN THE INCREASED POWER DEMAND IS SUPPLIED BY THE STORED KINETIC ENERGY IN THE ROTOR 1/2JW² HENCE THE SPEED OF THE ROTOR DECREASES.
Can the amount of energy carried by a power line be increased by raising voltage?
Yes, by increasing the voltage in a power line, the amount of energy carried can be increased. This is because power (P) is the product of voltage (V) and current (I), and increasing the voltage while keeping the current constant will result in higher power carrying capacity. However, it is important to consider the limitations of the equipment and the safety considerations when increasing voltage levels.
Has the percentage of energy imported to the United States increased or decreased over the last fifty years?
Increased. In 1950, 8.4% of the total volume of crude oil consumption in the United States was imported. Imports as a percentage of the total consumption peaked at 66.6% in 2006, and have declined since to 56.9% in 2012. Note that in my calculations using the U.S. Energy Information Administration raw data, Consumption = Production - Exports + Net Imports. See also the related link for the EIA generated graph. Imports of coal, natural gas, and other forms of energy into the U.S. are considered negligable during this time period.
Overpopulation has led to concerns over?
increased famine energy shortages
How have environmental and energy concerns affected the automatic controls for regulating residential and commercial environments and appliances industry?
Concerns about the environment and the resulting legislation have helped this industry to grow. Environmental issues created an increased demand for systems that control air quality and conserve energy
What factors contribute to an urban heat island?
Increased precipitation downwind of the city.
What was result of the accident at three mile island?
Many Americans began to worry about nuclear power- Apex
Does increased energy increased that particles are moving faster r slower?
Increased energy makes particles move faster.
What is increased in all energy transfers?
Entropy is increased.
What are the 2 concerns of physics?
Two concerns of physics are the study and the understanding of matter and energy and their interactions.
What are the environmental concerns of solar energy?
No there are not any enviromental risks of solar energy.
Why has the production of nuclear energy slowed down?
Spent fuel rod storage swimming pools will soon fill up. The Three Mile Island accident -zulu
Some of the major environmental concerns in Oceania and Australasia include?
excessive deforestation. depletion of water recourse's. lack of renewable energy resource's. rising acidity in surrounding oceans as a result of increased CO2 emission's.
How can the energy of the molecules of a solute and solvent be increased?
The energy of molecules in a solute and solvent can be increased by adding outside energy, say, heat, for instance.
Who is most at risk in a nuclear energy accident?
Those most at risk in a nuclear energy accident are the workers at the nuclear facility itself.
