What else can I help you with?
What is the energy used in the solar cell?
gravitational potential energy
What are the scientific energy groupings?
Solar and gravitational
Is tidal energy is a indirect form of solar energy?
Yes, tidal energy is considered an indirect form of solar energy because it is caused by the gravitational interaction between the sun, moon, and Earth. The gravitational forces of the sun and moon create tides in the Earth's oceans, which can be harnessed to generate electricity.
What is the ultimate source of the 3 major sources of energy for Earth?
The ultimate source of the three major sources of energy for Earth (solar, geothermal, and gravitational) is the Sun. Solar energy is directly from the Sun, geothermal energy is a result of Earth's internal heat generated by radioactive decay and residual heat from planetary formation, and gravitational energy is derived from the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon affecting tides.
What form of energy is shown by a falling parachute?
The form of energy shown by a falling parachute is gravitational potential energy converting to kinetic energy as the parachute descends.
Which energy resources are found above the Earth surface?
solar wind biomass
What is the sun for?
The sun is the central component of our solar system that functions as its gravitational center and primary radiant energy source.
What kind of energy does the solar system has?
mainly solar energy, which is derived from (at present) atomic fusion. There is also gravitational energy, and while on that idea, the rotational energy of the planets etc is conserved. Radioactivity is also present, and some of this was created from before the time Earth was formed.There is also the kinetic energy of the solar system as a whole moving through space,
Name an energy resource that does not need the sun?
The only energy sources that do not need to be created by solar influence (radiation, light or gravitational) are radioactivity and non-solar gravitation. This limits the sources to:the portion of geothermal energy resulting from radioactive decay inside the Earthnuclear power plantstidal power plants as tides are a primarily result of the moon's gravitational attraction
The energy names?
Elastic (or strain) potential energy Chemical potential energy Gravitational potential energy Light (or solar) energy Sound energy Heat (or thermal) energy Electrical energy (or electricity) Kinetic (or movement) energy Nuclear energy
Is gravitational energy an example of kinetic energy?
No, gravitational energy is a form of potential energy, not kinetic energy. Gravitational energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field, while kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
What Energy not ultimately derived from solar radiation is found in?
Geothermal energy, nuclear energy, and tidal energy are examples of energy sources not ultimately derived from solar radiation. Geothermal energy comes from heat within the Earth, nuclear energy from atomic reactions, and tidal energy from the gravitational interactions between the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
