Yes. The engines would have to run off fossil fuels if electricity is intermittent (This is still the standard, anyways) and a communications system based around local power sources would have to be used. It would be the job of the railway company to keep its stations powered (i.e. fueled). If the railway company can control power to its infastructure, it can run successfully.

Why light keeps the organism alive the bottle needs a constant supply?

Light is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants and some other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy to make food. Without a constant supply of light, photosynthesis cannot occur and the organism will not be able to produce the energy it needs to survive.


What happens to kinetic energy and potential energy in a closed system?

In a closed system, the total energy (kinetic + potential) remains constant, following the principle of conservation of energy. As kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases, and vice versa. This continuous exchange between kinetic and potential energy allows the system to maintain a constant total energy.


What does an endothermic reaction require to continue?

An endothermic reaction requires a continuous input of energy to continue. This energy is needed to break bonds in the reactants and drive the reaction forward by absorbing heat from the surroundings. Without this constant energy supply, the reaction will slow down or stop.


Does constant gradient have anything to do with passive transport?

No, constant gradient does not directly relate to passive transport. Passive transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane without the use of cellular energy, while constant gradient refers to a consistent change in concentration over a distance. However, the presence of a constant gradient can facilitate passive transport by driving the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient.


What kind of chemical reaction needs a constant supply of energy?

If a reaction requires a constant input of energy, the products are higher in energy than the reactants. This type of reaction is known as endothermic, since it involves an increase in energy of the system. Conversely, reactions that release energy are known as exothermic.

What is Boltzman's constant?

The Boltzman's constant is the physical constant relating to temperature to energy.


Why do you have to conserve energy when infact the energy of this world is constant?

While the TOTAL amount of energy remains constant, on the other hand, useful energy can, and will, be converted into unusable energy.


What is the significance of energy meter constant?

the value 'n' of meter constant indicates that consumption of energy is n KWh.


Energy input remains constant and voltage remains the same in a curcit but current decreses what must be happening?

- If energy input is constant, then (E x I) is constant. - If 'E' is constant, then 'I' must also be constant. - Your ammeter must be failing.

In what way will the gibbs free energy always be negative?

The Gibbs free energy will always be negative for a spontaneous reaction at constant temperature and pressure. This suggests that the reaction is thermodynamically favorable and can proceed without the input of external energy.


Why can't kinetic energy ever be greater then potential energy?

In a closed system without external forces, the total mechanical energy (which is the sum of kinetic and potential energy) remains constant. Kinetic energy represents the energy of motion, while potential energy is associated with an object's position or state. The total energy of an object or system cannot exceed its initial energy without external work being done to increase it.


What happens to the rate constant as energy increases?

The rate constant decreases.


Why does an organism need energy and constant supply of materials?

An organism needs energy and constant supply of materials to grow and develop.


What is the base unit of Plancks constant?

Planck's constant relates the energy level of radiation due to electrons moving from one energy level to another, by the formula Energy = (Planck's constant) x (frequency of radiation). Therefore the dimensions of Planck's constant are (energy)/(frequency) which means Joules x seconds In fact Planck's constant = 6.67 x 10-34 joule.seconds.
