Yes. The engines would have to run off fossil fuels if electricity is intermittent (This is still the standard, anyways) and a communications system based around local power sources would have to be used. It would be the job of the railway company to keep its stations powered (i.e. fueled). If the railway company can control power to its infastructure, it can run successfully.

What is the equation of conservation energy?
Total energy = constantTotal energy = constantTotal energy = constantTotal energy = constant
Is energy flow involved in a change in state?
Yes, energy is simply a way for things to change, therefore it is needed. Without energy flow (where energy is either gone or constant) a substance will remain the same.
What is Boltzman's constant?
The Boltzman's constant is the physical constant relating to temperature to energy.
How does the body keep running without a constant food supply?
The body has reserves of energy it can spend when there is no constant food intake. The cells can take energy from certain parts of the body as glucose. These parts can be the liver or the skeletal muscles, which particularly has glycogen (more difficult to assimilate into energy).
Why do you have to conserve energy when infact the energy of this world is constant?
While the TOTAL amount of energy remains constant, on the other hand, useful energy can, and will, be converted into unusable energy.
What is constant energy requirement?

What is the significance of energy meter constant?
the value 'n' of meter constant indicates that consumption of energy is n KWh.
Infer the total amount of energy mass in the universe is constant?

Energy input remains constant and voltage remains the same in a curcit but current decreses what must be happening?
- If energy input is constant, then (E x I) is constant. - If 'E' is constant, then 'I' must also be constant. - Your ammeter must be failing.
Can potential energy be negative?
Yes. An object's potential energy is relative to an arbitrary constant. Depending on the choice of that constant, the potential energy can indeed be negative.
What is the difference between the change of internal energy and the change in enthalpy?
The change of internal energy is the energy change at constant volume. Enthalpy change is the energy change at constant pressure.
Why does an organism need energy and constant supply of materials?
An organism needs energy and constant supply of materials to grow and develop.
What is the base unit of Plancks constant?
Planck's constant relates the energy level of radiation due to electrons moving from one energy level to another, by the formula Energy = (Planck's constant) x (frequency of radiation). Therefore the dimensions of Planck's constant are (energy)/(frequency) which means Joules x seconds In fact Planck's constant = 6.67 x 10-34 joule.seconds.
Why energy remains constant?
This is by the Principle of Conservation of Energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can only be converted from one form to another. Therefore, the amount of energy in a body remains constant.
Does kinetic energy depend on potential energy?
The summation of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant.

Why energy at constant pressure greater more than at constant volume?

What happens to the rate constant as activation energy increases?
The rate constant decreases.
When velocity will be constant what will be the energy?
Kinetic energy will be constant, but total energy (KE+PE) might not be. If the car, say, is climbing a hill at a steady speed, its KE is constant, but the work done by the engine is being used to increase PE.
The total amount of energy in the universe remains constant as a result of what?
It is because of the law of conservation of mass and energy, which states that the total amount of energy and mass in a closed system remains constant. This is because of Noether's Theorem. It states that some value in a symmetrical and closed system remains constant. Because of this, the mass and energy content of the universe remains constant as long as the laws of physics in it remain constant.
Which idea is centeral to the law of conservation of energy?
The idea is that you can define a quantity, called "energy", that remains constant over time. That is, if no energy escapes from a system, and no energy comes into a system, the total amount of energy will remain constant. Note that there are different types of energy, and you can convert between the different types - but the TOTAL amount remains constant.
In a energy conversion what happens to the total amount of energy?
It stays constant
What is diectric constant?
Dielectric constant is a measure of the ability of a substance to store electrical energy.
Should acceleration be constant?
Acceleration must be constant to use kinematic equations. Acceleration need not be constant if working with energy.
How are potential and kinetic energy alike?
The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy for an object is constant.
