We run out of means to convert it.

Coal is stored potential energy, if we use it all and the resulting heat energy escapes into space, we've lost that energy.

World's water evaporates, no hydro power.

Where did the energy come from if it cannot be created?

The energy we use comes from sources like the sun, wind, and fossil fuels. It cannot be created or destroyed, but can be converted from one form to another.


What happened to energy after it use?

It is changed into a different form of energy as it cannot be destroyed (First law of thermodynamics) usually kinetic energy of the molecules


What can be created or destroyed but they can be changed from one to another?

If you ment to say "What CANNOT be created or destroyed but can be changed from one to another" than you are looking for matter and energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. for example, the sun shines light on to a corn plant, which powers photosynthesis. this is a transfer from radiation energy to chemical energy, stored in the cells of the corn. when you eat this corn, and use that energy to jump up and down, that is a transfer of chemical energy to kinetic energy.Mass can also (at least in theory) be converted into energy in accordence with E=Mc2 with E=energy, M=mass, and c=the speed of light


Is coal a non-renewable source of energy?

Yes, coal is a non-renewable energy source. We use it faster than it is produced


How can you waste energy because it cannot be destroyed?

Energy can be wasted when it is used inefficiently, such as leaving lights or electronics on when not in use, or by using outdated and inefficient appliances. This leads to a loss of usable energy in the form of heat or other forms of energy that aren't useful for the intended purpose.

How can can you use up a source of energy when energy cannot be destroyed?

It's true that energy is never destroyed-- whan you use up a source of energy, you simply convert it to another form. When gas is burned in a car, for example, it turns from chemical energy to thermal and kinetic energy, which is then converted into sound, and eventually thermal energy in the form of friction.


What happens to thermal energy after its use?

Why do people use gas when they can make an engine that runs on water?

You cannot use the chemical energy of water as a source of energy. It takes more energy to use it than you get out of it.


What if your cell must use energy to get this energy why?

Cells, like humans, cannot generate energy without locating a source in their environment.


Can exponential energy be created through the use of Perender motor superconductors and ultra capacitors?

First law of thermodynamics: energy cannot be created nor destroyed.


What is the law of conservation in your own words?

There are many different laws of conservation, but they are essentially the same. For this example I will use energy. The laws of conservation of energy say that energy in = energy out. This is to say that energy cannot be destroyed or created.


What source of energy does a computer use?

A computers energy source is electricity. When using a computer plugged in or not it is drawing electricity from the battery or from a plug which is connected into the PC and a wall outlet. When there is no electricity the computer cannot function.


If an article does not have an Author listed you cannot use as a source?

If an article does not I have an author listed, you cannot use it as a source


What connection does glucose form with ATP?

Glucose is the energy source for the body. But it cannot use it in that form, so it converts it to ATP for use in metabolism.


Why does a plant need to make glucose?

glucose is the primary source of energy. ATP's cannot store a lot of energy so the plats use glucose (C6H12O6) to store their energy.


What is the only energy source that the brain can use?

Glucose is the only energy source that the brain can use.
