How is coal energy better than solar engery?
Most forms of solar energy rely on daylight, so solar energy can't be used during night, coal fired power stations can be used day and night.Coal power at it's simplest (coal fires) can be used for heating rooms and houses.
How can hydroelectric energy be used?
by plant produced.+++Four people found that useful?1) The word "energy" is superfluous: if it's hydroelectric it's obviously electrical energy, so you need only to call it "hydroelectricity". Electricity is a form of energy.2) How it's used: to power anything needing electricity, from factories, schools, hospitals etc, to homes and the appliances in them, including your computer or 'phone charger.Hydroelectric energy is used in the same way that other energy forms are used. The falling water rotates a turbine connected to the generator that produces the electricity. This electricity is then transported to be used to power every day household supplies. Hydroelectric energy is used in various ways. This is mainly used as a source of producing electricity as the water flows through the turbines.OKHydroelctric energy, today, is used in multiple ways. The energy harnessed by the water flowing threw the dams or reservios is transported by wires to a power plant and then transfered into different forms of energy. The energy tis is used, is used for powering home, buisness, factories, and many more places.
Do glass doors on a fireplace reduce the amount of warm air that get wasted up chimney?
When a fireplace is not being used... glass doors are not a good way to stop cold air from exiting the chimney. The first thing that needs to be done is the fireplace damper should be closed to prevent this heat loss. If the damper is not-functional or absent a chimney balloon or chimney top damper can be installed to stop the heat loss.When there is a fire in the fireplace...Fireplace glass doors reduce the amount of already heated interior air that the fireplace has access to. So it does slow down the inside heated air from being cast up the chimney with the fires combustion heat, but glass doors do not stop this heat waste completely. Fireplace glass doors also inhibit the only usable heat the a fireplace produces (radiant heat) from coming into the living area. Standard open fireplaces and fireplaces with glass doors are notoriously inefficient at heating the home. According to the US Department of Energy using a fireplace in the winter will actually make your heating bill go up by 10% on average.

What is the difference between material and energy resources?
Materials are what are used to make it and carriers of oomph. Everything in the cosmos is made up of for all intents and purposes 2 things: substance and power. Matter describes the corporeal things approximately us: the earth, the air you respire, your pencil. Energy is a foundation of power and the capability to source modify or do effort. Some forms of energy consist of light, warmth, electrical vigor and mechanical vigor, for instance faction. There are two main forms of energy are prospective and kinetic.
Why is coal used for electricity?
When coal burns, it produces heat. This can be converted to other forms of energy.

How are different forms of energy the same?
They are not the same.Electricity and sound are two forms of energy. Electricity can be used to generate sound, for example in a doorbell. But once converted, the sound disperses and cannot be used as energy.
What happens to heat energy after it's used?
