How do you use thermal energy daily?
All energy sources come in two ways. One way is by something using the energy. The other way is by something producing the energy. We use thermal energy when we heat our homes with heaters. Microwaves and ovens use thermal energy. So do toasters.
A material which does not pass thermal energy easily is called an?
Oh come on, open your book and read it! I will give a hint, however, there are conductors and insulators. One does not pass thermal energy easily, and the other does.
When a paper is burned what type of energy is that and where does it come from?
Chemical energy changes to thermal and radiant energy (heat and light).
Why is heat an unusable energy?
Thermal energy is useful energy. However, thermal energy is usually just heat, and not very hot heat at that. And heat, unless hot enough to boil water is a bit difficult to move and to convert into other kinds of energy. You can't run an electric motor directly off thermal energy for instance. But if you live somewhere where homes needs to be heated as opposed to cooled then thermal energy most certainly can come in handy.
Where does thermal energy come from when a fire fighter slides down a pole?
When a firefighter slides down a pole the thermal energy comes from the friction between the two objects.
Where does thermal energgy come from?
Thermal energy comes from sun. It is a source of heat energy.

I where did high thermal energy flow at mid ocean ridge come from?
>.<
What does the earths internal thermal energy come from?
From radioactivity in the Earth's interior.
Were does the energy come from that evaporate water on the earth?
This is thermal radiation of the Sun.

What are the differences between nuclear and thermal energy?
Thermal energy is a quantity that can be measured in BTU or Calories. Heat transfer is just a method of transferring that energy from one place to another, or one part of a machine to another part. Heat transfer does not create any energy in itself.
Unlike other forms of energy what type of energy is hard to store?
well, there are a LOT of different kinds of energy, but in terms of energy that every day people come accross, heat energy is the hardest to store. This is because just about everything (even insulators) are pretty good heat conductors, whereas electricity can stay in a capacitor or as chemical energy in a AA battery for much longer than you can keep your coffee warm.
How come you olny get a fraction light energy from the sun?
Some bounces off you and some turns into thermal energy.
