When energy is transferred to the air what happens to the particles of the air?

When energy is transferred to air, the molecules in the air become more excited. The energy causes the molecules to move around more than they did before, which could cause an increase in temperature, among other things.


How is energy transferred in a crash?

The energy in a crash can be transferred in a variety of ways. The most significant way is through mechanical and physical deformation. In a head on collision between two cars, the energy travels through the front of each car, crumpling the metal and machinery. Energy can then be transferred in the form of heat. Although this energy isn't as significant as mechanical energy, during the moment of impact there will be a trace amount of heat created through the scraping of metal. Energy is also transferred through sound waves. When two vehicles collide, the sound of the scraping metal is the transfer of some of the energy through the air.


What is static head of water?

Static === still, motionless --- Head refers to the pressure water in motion will create a 'head' just from being in motion.


Are power showers energy efficient?

Power showers are more energy efficient in most cases. In a power shower, only a pump is used to pump hot water from a boiler to the shower head as opposed to an electric shower, which has to heat up the water first before being used. Electric showers therefore are not as energy efficient as power showers.


How is energy stored in the dunking bird?

When the bird's head is in the water, the cool water soaks into the felt head. This causes the liquid inside the bird to contract, making the tail end denser. This causes the bird to tip the head out of the water. The air is warm enough to heat up the thin layer of water, causing the water to evaporate, and the liquid inside to expand. This makes it rise up the inside tube and tip the bird back into the water, and the cycle begins again. So, in short, I suppose the energy in the bird is stored as heat.

What are the energy transformations in a power plant?

The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy


What is the main use of water energy?

To generate hydroelectricity. But water energy (the potential energy in a head of water) has also been used to turn water wheels for industrial mills and flower mills.

Can head lice be transferred through saltwater?

No. "HEAD LICE" Not saltwater lice. Lice like hair and sufficate from water and oils. They can not be transfered from anything but people or hair brushes.
