What happens to the lost energy when fossil fuel is used to generate electricity?
Energy is never lost, it is transformed into different types or transferred into different systems. Some of this is useful energy, for example thermal energy used to power a turbine or generator. Some of this thermal energy is not useful, and instead just heats up the fuel container or components of the generator. This energy has still come from the fossil fuel being burned, but it has not been transferred into the system for generating electricity.
Is stored in a fossil fuel and released in a form of kinetic energy when burned?
Potential
When a fossil fuel is burned energy is converted to kinetic energy?
Fossil fuels represent chemical energy, a form of potential energy. This energy was stored in the hydrocarbon molecules and can be released by oxidation (burning).
Is a fossil fuel an example of mechanical energy?
Fossil fuel in itself is simply an example of potential energy, which can be changed to mechanical energy by burning, thus changing from potential energy to heat energy and then to mechanical energy.
Is fat a fossil fuel?
No, fat is not a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are formed from decomposed organic matter over millions of years, while fat is a nutrient stored in the body for energy.
What other resource could be used if fossil fuel was lost?
solar energy
Is nuclear a fuel or a fossil fuel?
Nuclear energy is not a fossil fuel or any fuel at all. Radiation is used to create energy. The energy is "the Fuel" petroleum
What is the defeniton of a fossil fuel power plant?
A fossil fuel power plant is a system of devices for the conversion of fossil fuel energy to mechanical work or electric energy
Is solar energy fossil fuel?
No it isn't a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels include coal and oil.
What are other energy besides fossil fuels?
Fossil fuel is not energy its a energy source and yes there is more energy sources besides the fossil fuel like coal and others.
Is water a fossil fuel energy?
No.
Is fossil fuel nuclear energy?
No because fossil fuel is its own energy from decayed things just like nuclear has its own.
Is geothermal not a fossil fuel or is it a fossil fuel?
Geothermal energy is not a fossil fuel, because it is harnessing energy from the thermal heat energy within the earth and is not dependent upon decomposed ancient plants and animals, which is what coal, oil, and natural gas are, which is why they are called "fossil fuels."
Is geothermal energy considered a fossil fuel?
No, geothermal energy is not considered a fossil fuel. It is a renewable energy source that comes from the heat within the Earth's crust.
Is fossil fuel another name for non-renewable energy?
yes, fossil fuel is another name for non-renewable energy sources.
What is fuel energy?
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
