What else can I help you with?
What do solar energy and fossil fuels have in common?
They both provide power for the world.
What are the main usues of fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels release energy as the result of ignition.
Do fossil fuels provide heat when they are burned?
Yes, that is the primary reason to use fossil fuels.
What is the energy stored in fossil fuels such as coal?
Chemical potential energy
A type of potential energy that is made from fossil fuels?
chemical energy
Why are fossil fuels mainly used?
they provide the most energy efficiently
Why do buses burn fuels to make new substances or to provide energy?
Buses burn fuels, such as gasoline or diesel, to generate energy through combustion. This energy is used to power the engine and move the vehicle. Combustion of fuels releases heat and gases, which are used as the primary source of energy for buses.
What two fuels provide half of the energy used in Canada?
gas and oil
What do solar energy and fossil fuels have in common?
They both provide power for the world.
Explain why does fussil fuels matter?
Fossil fuels matter because they are a non-renewable energy source that provide the majority of the world's energy needs. However, their extraction and combustion contribute to environmental issues such as air and water pollution, as well as climate change due to the release of greenhouse gases. Transitioning to cleaner, renewable energy sources is crucial for sustainable development and reducing the negative impacts of fossil fuels.
What three fossil fuels do you burn to provide electric energy?
coal, gas and oil
Explain that different fuels have different calorific value and the consequences of this?
Different fuels have different calorific values means that the different fuels have different energy contents. The consequence of this is that for a given energy output, more fuel is required with the liower calorific fuel.
Explain the type of energy released when fossil fuels are burned?
Basically the same as when any substance burns. Mainly heat energy.
What comes with getting fossil fules such as coal from the earth?
Fossil Fuels are used to provide to energy to perform work. Such as using coal to provide energy for a train to work.
How does the burning of fossil fuels provide the primary energy source for most of modern society?
Well when you burn fossil fuels you get alot of the energy that we use like petroluem, natural gas, and coal.
Do fossil fuels provide a large amount of thermal energy per unit of mass?
yes.
Does fuels stored heat energy?
Heat is a form of energy that is a bit qualitative...when the temperature of 1 body is higher than the other we say the 1st body has higher heat content......Fuels do contain heat energy...but it is not what they are meant for....Fuels are basically chemicals which upon combustion get converted into products releasing energy that was stored in the bonds as heat, light and sound energy.....
