What is an example of converting nuclear energy to electrical energy?
nuclear power plantnuclear battery (SNAP thermoelectric power source for space vehicles)
Why electrical energy is a useful form of energy?
Because it is transfered to a long distance with less loses as compared to other form of energy A2. Electrical energy can be transported across "empty" space and can be stored and can be transformed to other forms of energy. A3. Electrical, much like geothermal, is a natural energy source that can be harvested from lightning and other weather related sources. In theory, we should be able to use these sources to create usable energy: the source producing more energy that it takes to harvest it in a plant.
What do Space heaters convert most of the electrical energy in a circuit into?
thermal energy
What is the energy source for the lunar rover?
The lunar rovers used electrical energy. The fuel cells that supplied energy to the command and service modules needed to be started on earth. There is no way to restart a fuel cell once in space. So, the lunar lander, the LEM, and the lunar rovers all had to use stored electrical energy.
Is a space station a satellite or a space probe?
A space station is a satellite.
Why must the I.S.S. have electrical power and insulation from temperature extremes?
The electrical circuits are affected by the magnetyic energy from space, so the circuits of the space station need to be iunsulated against magnetic energy.
What is the energy source for Hubble Space Telescope?
The sun.
What is the energy transformation of an electric space heater?
kinetic energy transformation potential energy mechanical energy electrical energy chemical energy nuclear energy sound energy geothermal energy
What is the lifetime of a satellite in space?
It is dependent on the life of its solar panels, which supplies it energy. As long as energy is supplied it works properly. Correct answer: The satellite has to correct its orbit from time to time. To do that, it uses gas compressed at a small tank. When this tank is empty, the satellite loses its orbit and even burns at the atmosphere or flies in the space.
What is a communications satellite?
Satellite communication is when a signal gets sent to space, bounces off of a satellite, and comes back to Earth. This is a very common source of communication.
Is a satellite is considered a space Robot?
A satellite is a Space Robot?
What do Microphone do?
A microphone is a transducer - meaning it converts sound in a physical space into electrical energy displayed by a waveform. A speaker does the opposite: It converts electrical energy into a physical sound.
