Where is useful thermal energy stored?
geothermal energy.....I hope you will pass your grade
What is a complete energy transformation sentence for a campfire?
t Campfires convert chemical energy stored in wood into thermal energy, which is useful for cooking food and staying warm.
What is the energy transformation that produces useful energy?
Thermal energy to electrical energy
Can thermal energy be made to do useful work?
Thermal energy is what is practically the ONLY source of energy for any work. Thermal energy cools, heats, runs motors, etc.
What is the energy transfer in a light in the ceiling?
it is electrical to radiant and thermal I'm not sure about that answer i think it's electrical to light (useful energy) and thermal (which is the wasted energy)
How does ocean termal energy work?
It isn't quite clear what you mean with "work". There is a lot of thermal energy in the oceans; but most of that energy can't be used - can't be converted to useful energy. To use thermal energy - to convert it to something useful - there has to be a temperature difference between different places.
Why is solar energy useful?
Because it is freely available and it doesn't damage the environment.
What is stored in coal and petroleum which makes these resources very useful?
Solar energy is stored in coal and petroleum.
Is nuclear energy thermal energy or potential?
Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
How is geo thermal energy maintained?
Radiant energy is energy 'in motion', 'in transit', much like 'heat' and 'work'. The energy that comes from the sun, does it as radiant energy. That energy can be stored as energy, but is 'radiant energy' no more. Solar water heaters capture the 'thermal radiation' coming from the sun and store it as thermal energy in water. The water molecules increase their translation, vibration and rotation energies which are components of what's referred as 'thermal energy ' of a body. The hotter the water gets (higher temperature), the more thermal energy it holds.
What are the disadvantantage of ocean thermal energy?
Mainly that the useful energy is spread out quite thinly, so it requires large and expensive equipment to get a significant amount of useful power.
How the chemical energy stored in firewood is useful?
It makes heat when the wood burns.
