During an energy transfer what happens to the total amount of energy?
Energy can not be destroyed, so the total amount of energy before a change is equal to the amount of energy after the change. However, some energy is changed into a useful form, but some may be wasted and not used. For example, a light bulb, changes electrical energy into light energy, but some of the energy is changed to heat and some to sound, these are not useful and are wasted, but are changed nonetheless. So a transformation from mechanical energy to heat will have the same total energy at the start as at the finish, but unless it is 100% efficient some of the original energy will be 'lost'
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.
What Units used to express energy transfer?
Its the exact amount without loosing any in the process. This process is called "The Law of Conservation of Energy".
What is The amount of energy in a sound wave is called?
Amplitude
Why is biomass a better alternative to oil?
Biomass is a renewable resource.
Why do fuels not all release the same amount of energy when they burn?
The amount of energy released when a fuel burns depends on its chemical composition. Fuels with more carbon and hydrogen atoms per unit mass release more energy when burned because they undergo more exothermic reactions during combustion. Additionally, factors like the presence of impurities and the efficiency of combustion can also affect the amount of energy released.
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.
If a reaction in one direction releases energy the same reaction in the other direction will what?
If a reaction in one direction releases energy, then the same reaction in the other direction will absorb the same amount of energy. This is because energy is conserved in a reversible reaction, with the release and absorption of energy being equal and opposite.
What is the difference in energy production between fossil fuels and nuclear reactors?
One uranium fuel pellet about the size of a thimble can generate the same amount of energy as roughly one ton of coal.
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.
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.
Do all countries consume the same amount of Fossil Fuels?
Definetly not tak
How do fossil fuels nuclear energy and solar energy generate electricity in the same way?
becase there weird
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.
Does Nuclear energy provide a great amount of energy from a small amount of fuel?
Yes, nuclear energy generates a significant amount of energy from a small amount of fuel. Nuclear fission reactions release a large amount of energy from a small amount of uranium or plutonium. This makes nuclear energy a highly efficient source of power.
How much of the United States energy production comes from Solar energy?
Less than 1% , because solar is not stable enuf becaus in winter or cloudy days it won't produse any energy,same with wind, 85% of our energy comes from fossil fuels because of the amount of power produced compared to the amount of product ( there cosintrated)
Does an electron have the same amount of enery in all orbitals?
All of the orbitals in the same energy sublevel (s, p, d, f) have the same amount of energy. For example, each of the 3p orbitals have the same energy and all of the electrons in the 3p orbitals have the same energy.
