describe how a alternative energy source works
If it can be made to work, the two main advantages would be: 1. A source of deuterium from water that would never run out, 2. It would not produce the fission products that are a problem of disposal with fission reactors
The energy in coal is chemical energy. The usual way to extract it is to burn the coal converting it to heat energy. This can then be turned into electrical energy Fuels like gasoline and coal are sources of energy which means they store energy
Energy does not have the ability to do work, but we use energy to do work. Work is the application of force over a distance. The amount of energy changes how much work can be done, but energy technically does not do any work.
A spring or tensioned system can hold and deliver power. A weight on a line can store and supply energy. Compressed gasses are a source of energy. Wind and water power have been used for thousands of years by mankind to do work.
To get ANYTHING done, SOME type of energy is required. Specifically, our bodies have evolved to use the chemical energy in the food we eat. Other types of energy can help us (if you keep warm, you need less food), but won't work as our main energy source, simply because we are not built to handle it.
Scientist describe energy as ability to do or perform work.
Solar energy
energy-the ability to do work.
Energy is the ability to cause change. Because work may be done when change occurs, we can describe energy as the ability to do work. Usually measured in Joules.
water source, energy source and transport source
Energy is defined as the source of power to do work. Energy, in other words, is just the source for getting something done.
energy is defined as the ability to do....work.
It acts as a source of energy!
a conductor and a source of energy
Mitochondrion
ATP is called the energy source (battery) of the cell.
Carbohydrates are a source of energy so we can move, work, exercise, and play.
