What are the top three energy sources in the US?
Biomass, compressed natural gas, and nuclear power
What is compressed energy?
Compressed energy refers to energy that is stored in a compressed form, such as in compressed air tanks or compressed natural gas tanks. This energy can be released and harnessed for various purposes, such as powering vehicles or machinery.
What is the origin of non-renewable energy sources including how energy can be trapped in these sources?
Non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are formed over millions of years from decayed organic matter trapped in the Earth's crust. The energy in these sources comes from the sun's energy, which plants absorbed through photosynthesis and then converted into chemical energy. This stored energy is released when the fossil fuels are burned for heating, electricity generation, and transportation.
Is coal a resource?
Yes, coal is a natural resource that is mined for energy production. It is a fossil fuel formed from decayed plant matter that has been compressed over millions of years.
The amplitude of oscillation of a pendulum decays by a factor of 27.0 in 110 s By what factor has its energy decayed in that time?
27^2 = 729 is a factor of energy decayed. (time takes NO role in this case)
Which energy source is the result of tiny sea creatures being compressed over millions year?
The energy source resulting from tiny sea creatures being compressed over millions of years is fossil fuels, such as oil and natural gas. These creatures, mainly plankton and algae, undergo a process of decomposition and compression, leading to the formation of these energy-rich substances.
How is the energy in food compressed?
The energy in food is compressed because of burning process
What are some Types of secondary energy resources?
Some types of secondary energy resources include electricity, hydrogen, and compressed air. These resources are produced using primary energy sources such as coal, natural gas, and renewable sources like solar and wind energy.
What do plankton produce?
Energy, oxygen.
What food does a plankton eat?
well plankton eats the energy from the sun and that helps it provide oxygen and this is the process of photosynthesis. so really plankton only eats the suns heat and energy.
Compressed springs are what kind of energy?
The potential energy of a spring is defined by this equation: U=.5kx2 U= potential energy (in joules) k= the spring constant x= the displacement of the spring from equilibrium. (the amount that the spring is stretched or compressed) This equation tells us that as a spring is compressed by a distance x, the potential energy increases proportionately to x2
What can the energy from fossil fuels be traced back to?
decayed organisms
