What are the physical resources of the Philippines?

The Philippines is rich in natural resources, such as minerals, agriculture and marine resources. It is made up of many types of bodies of water and beautiful coast lines.


In the airplane where is the stored energy?

In a few small model airplanes, the energy of propulsion is stored in the elasticity of a twisted rubber band. Some full-sized airplanes have no on-board energy storage. They are given some gravitational potential energy by being towed to altitude by another aircraft, and then settle slowly to the ground. These are 'sailplanes' or 'gliders'. A few full-sized airplanes have been powered by the food energy stored in the individual who pedals a mechanism in order to fly them. A few others have been powered by the solar radiation that impinges upon photovoltaic panels arrayed on the wings and fuselage, with no on-board energy storage. The vast majority of present-day airplanes store the chemical energy for their operation in large tanks inside their wings, in the form of gasoline molecules.


What is the importance of mechanical engineering in your society?

All the machines are related with electrical energy as well as mechanical energy.. generator converts mechanical energy in to electrical energy and motor converts electrical energy into mechanical.. so this two fields are related with each thereof one have good knowledge of mechanical energy as well as electrical energy.. efficiency of the machines can be improved..


How do you distinguish between conventional and non conventional energy?

Conventional current represents the flow from positive to negative; following the direction that independent positively-charged particles would travel. (N.B: equal charges repel, opposite charges attract.) Non-conventional current represents the flow in the opposite direction (from negative to positive) and is the direction in which electrons would flow.

How are renewable and nonrenewable energy different?

Yes, nonrenewable and renewable sources are different - very different. For example, nonrenewable sources such as fossil fuels harm the environment and will run out soon. Green renewable sources are good for the environment such as solar energy. It comes from the sun. That is why it is called solar energy.


Why choose wind energy over any other renewable energy?

There is no particular reason to favor one sort of renewable energy over others.


What are the advantages of renewable energy resources versus nuclear power stations?

The only renewable energy source that can compare with nuclear is hydro, others are only minor players, at present anyway. Hydro is in my opinion the best of all available energy sources, renewable or not, but it is not available everywhere and some countries have none at all, due to geography.


What type of energy resource is renewable resource?

What are three examples of renewable energy?

Solar, wind, and geothermal. There are many others.


What are 3 renewable energy sources?

Renewable energy sources are sources that will not run out three examples are; Solar power, Wind powers (using windmills) and using water (an example would be a dam)


Renewable resources represent a very small percentage of the overall energy consumption in the US why?

because they are more expensive to run than non-renewables. The US, just like every other country in the world doesnt want to spend more money than others on energy and have its economy fall behind. In the long term though it will cost more to make renewable energy resources out of renewable energy when all the fossil fuels have depleted. But the long term is longer than a few generations and its hard to connect with your potential great great great grandkids


Renewable energy sources currently being used considered to be unable to meet your total energy needs?

One of the most commonly used renewable energy is the solar energy. Others include windmill energy and energy from animal wastes.


Is nuclear waste renewable or nonrenewable?

Renewable and nonrenewable resources are being used every day. Both these resources help us with everyday life, although some are better for the economy than others. They are both sources of Energy.


What are some ways to keep nonrenewable resources from being used up?

Find and use renewable resources like solar, wind, hydro and others.


What are three renewable energy source's?

Wind power,solar powergeothermal power.Wind power is renewable because the Earth will never run out of wind. The sun will always shine (barring a natural disaster in which significant amounts of dust kick up in the air). Thermal energy in the Earth's core constantly replenishes itself.Wind, hydro, and solar are the most commonly used renewable energy sources at this point. Important among the others are biomass and geothermal.A renewable resource is one that is replaced by natural processes at a rate that is equal to or faster than its consumption. For example, the wind, the tides, and the sun, are all resources that can be utilized for their power and are in no danger of expiring; These resources will always be available, despite the consumption level. Resources such as water, timber, and geothermal energy must be intensely monitored in order to avoid over-consumption, and thus deprive the resources of their renewability.
