There are a number of reason why energy, specifically fossil fuels, is such an important issue at the moment. Below I have listed a few.

  • The price of crude oil is high. Often high cost is a reason to look for cheaper alternatives.
  • Fossil fuels are also not a renewable energy source. That means that once it is all gone, it is gone. This makes people look into what to do to replace it now and once it is no longer a resource.
  • Certain energies, such as gas and oil, don't burn very clean. As concerns about the environment grow, there is pressure to look for cleaner alternatives.

It is a pretty controversial issue, and when things are controversial people want to talk about them and share the opinions. There are many different ideas about, when, how, and where to begin the search and research for alternative energy sources.

How much of the total energy in problems 3 and 4 has been transformed to kinetic energy?

37 percent of the total energy in Problem-3 was transformed to kinetic energy. Once it was moving, it was routed over to Problem-4, where it is being stored.


Fusion is the ultimate solution to your energy problem why?

Fusion releases a lot amount of energy, much more than the traditional methods of obtaining energy, most of which are polluting and non-renewable. Thus, fusion is the ultimate solution to our energy problem. A2: If fusion can be made to work, it will use deuterium (heavy water) which can be extracted from natural water and therefore is an almost inexhaustible source.


Why is it important to look at new sources of energy?

because if the problem of unrenewable energy resouses is unadressed for much longer, the worlds polution rates will skyrocket... and sooner or later the unrenewable sources will extingish and leave us with out power.


What are the examples of moment of force?

The moment of a force is the multiple of the force and the distance from the point of application. An example is in tightening wheel nuts. The torque spanner used has a calibration in ft.lb or Newton.meters, so that the correct tightening torque is applied. If the shaft was made twice as long, the necessary force at the shaft end would be half as much. The concept of energy E= fd = -f.d + fxd where f is vector force and d is vector displacement. Energy is a quaternion consisting of a real and three vectors.Work is the real moment of force w= -f.d and Torque is the vector moment of force t=fxd.


What determines how much energy a human can receive from?

A human gets energy from the calories of food. how much energy the food molecules have

What makes a wife jealous because husband pays more attention to dog than her does she have a problem?

The wife would have a pretty big problem if her husband is paying more attention to the dog than her. He should be paying more attention to her but not so much that he's smothering her. Maybe just the same as her! :)

One problem with wind energy as a major source of electricity is?

The problem with wind energy is that it does not produce much electricity. Wind does not flow at all places. So having wind energy as a major source of electricity is not a option.

Running blood from nose in every 3 or 4 months is this a problem?

Having a bloody nose isn't uncommon, but when it persists for months, you need medical attention. A bloody nose can be a symptom of a much larger problem.


What is the problem with using the world's main energy source?

The world's main energy source is the Sun. The Sun is not the problem. The problem arises when we use the fossil fuels which the sun has prepared for us. They turn to carbon dioxide which will probably cause catastrophic heating of the earth if we use too much.


How much energy can be stored from the tsunami?

It doesn't seem practical to try to "store" energy from a one-time event such as a tsunami - you may have to wait years for this event. Storing the energy is, precisely, a great problem. It is much better to look for regular sources of energy - for example (to mention something not yet used) the energy that supplies lightning.


How do you make sure during a threesome the guy pays attention to you and not the other girl?

Easy, you don't. That would be selfish :C Another thing would be us guys are concentrating most on what's in front of us or what we're handling at any given moment. If he's busy sexing you up, then obviously you ARE the center of attention at that moment, when he's doing the other girl, the same applies for her. Kissing another girl and all that during sex is pretty much an attempt at dividing and distributing attention evenly.


Why do you sneeze 12 times?

Should you be worried if your girlfriend asked you why you asked her out?

Maybe she is feeling a bit insecure at the moment. Some girls might feel like this if you are not paying her much attention. Spend more quality time together as a couple.
