How does burning fuel of any kind turn solar energy into thermal energy?
All fuels (with the exception of nuclear fuels) were originally dependant on sunshine for their creation. Coal, gasoline, wood, peat, diesel. Nuclear fuels depend on the emission of neutrons from a radioactive substance, and the radioactive materials used all have primal (original) energy available in them. The temperature of the inner core of the Earth is about 5700oC, about the same as the surface of the Sun. This eventually gives us geothermal heat and geothermal energy. The inner core of the Earth is heated by radioactive decay of the heavy elements.
Why do members of a family of elements behave the same in chemical reactions?
THis is because they have the same properties, therefore, they react the same way.
Why do some battries last longer than others?
1. Quality - cheaper batteries usually give less energy for the same physical size. 2. Chemistry - alkaline batteries give more energy than carbon-zinc batteries of the same size. 3. Load current - some batteries deliver more total energy with high current loads than others of the same size. Alkalines are better at high loads than carbon-zinc. 4. Size - generally, larger batteries last longer with the same load than smaller ones.
What does it mean to say that in any system the total energy score stays the same?
It means that the energy demand stays the same no matter what energy source it is coming from!
Why are nonrenewables also called fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are those which are naturally created from living organisms, usually only under certain conditions and a very long period of time. The most important ones are coal, oil, and natural gas. They usually consist mostly of hydrocarbons. Nonrenewable fuels are those which are only replenished on a geological timescale or not at all. They include both the above listed fuels as well as uranium, which is not being replenished but at the same time cannot be considered a fossil fuel due to its creation process. In summary: --Fossil fuels have organic origins. --Nonrenewable fuels are not being replaced on any reasonable timescale. They are often confused because of their significant overlap, but are not the same thing.
How do fossil fuels nuclear energy and solar energy generate electricity in the same way?
becase there weird
What is the same about fossil fuels and geothermal energy?
they both pollute.both fossil fuels and geothermal energy pollute they envirenment because when the water(steam) comes out to power the turbines it bring dust and other pollutents into the air.
What are the similarities between respiration and burning fuels?
Both respiration and burning fuels involve the process of oxidation, where a substance combines with oxygen to release energy. In both processes, carbon dioxide and water are byproducts that are released into the environment. Additionally, both respiration and burning fuels are exothermic reactions that release heat energy.
Explain the type of energy released when fossil fuels are burned?
Basically the same as when any substance burns. Mainly heat energy.
Why fossil and solar energy the same?
Fossil energy and solar energy are not the same. Fossil energy comes from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, which release greenhouse gases when burned. Solar energy, on the other hand, comes from harnessing sunlight using photovoltaic cells or solar thermal systems. Solar energy is renewable and does not produce greenhouse gas emissions, unlike fossil fuels.
How does hydrogens energy per gram compare to other fuels?
Hydrogen has a higher energy content per gram compared to most other fuels, including gasoline and diesel. However, its energy density by volume is lower which means that larger storage tanks are required to store the same amount of energy as conventional fuels.
What is the cost comparison between fossil fuels and solar energy?
The cost of solar energy has been decreasing in recent years, making it more competitive with fossil fuels. While the initial investment for solar panels can be high, the long-term costs of solar energy are generally lower than those of fossil fuels due to the free and abundant source of sunlight. Additionally, solar energy does not have the same environmental costs associated with fossil fuels, such as air pollution and climate change.
How can we generate energy in Barbados without using fossil fuels?
Basically, you can use the same methods in Barbados as anywhere else in the world.
How did plants and animals get their energy before coming fossil fuels?
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. Animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals. This natural process has been occurring for millions of years before the use of fossil fuels.
Do fossil fuels have a higher or lower energy content than a similar mass of nuclear fuel?
Total energy as expressed in Einsteins equation E=mc2 reveals that they are identical because the masses are identical and c is a constant. With present technology you can extract more energy from a given mass of nuclear fuels (in a nuclear reactor) than the same mass of fossil fuel in a thermoelectric generating plant.
What do all elements in the same period on the period the periodic table have in common?
A. They have the same number of protons.B. They have the same number of orbitals.C. They have the same number of electrons.D. They have the same number of neutrons.
What non metal liquid has the same number of energy levels of calcium?
Krypton is a non-metal liquid with the same number of energy levels as calcium, specifically 4 energy levels.
