Why is tidal energy not likely to be a potential source of energy?
potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position and the tide is always in motion not standing still hence it is a source of kinetic energy.
What source of energy cause a transverse wave?
A transverse wave is a wave in which the medium vibrates at right angles to the direction of its propagation.There is no one unique source of energy that will produce a wave with this property.
What is the matter that waves use to transfer energy?
The matter that waves use to transfer energy is called the medium. The medium actually carries the energy of the wave. Sound is a good example of mechanical energy, and it requires a medium to travel. The energy created at the source is transferred into the medium, and the medium carries it forward in transmission (propagation).
What is the power of certain forces of nature to do work?
YES, wind can produce WORK via controlled transfers of energy. First, an initial energy source is needed to produce this effect. Historical experimentation shows the most common source of energy would be radiant energy. Both the sun and the earth can provide the initial radiant energy. Provided we have a radiant energy source, we can focus on how to control the transfer from radiant energy (heat) to kinetic energy (wind). First we must look at the source of wind energy. The direct source is pressure differentials. On earth, this pressure differential is caused by radiant energy. The radiant energy that created the pressure differential will transfer to kinetic energy. In this case, the kinetic energy is measured in wind velocity. Transfer of Radiant to Kinetic energy can be accomplished by: (1) Create a pressure differential with the initial energy source (radiant) (2) Contain this pressure differential (radiant) (2a) Control the direction of the energy transfer (radiant to kinetic) (2b) Control the speed of the energy transfer (radiant to kinetic) (3) Utilize a mechanical device to transfer the kinetic energy to the desired output (assuming WORK = electrical energy output) Answer is Yes considering WORK = DC/AC (electricity) To complicate the above, all one has to do is (1) introduce lighter-than-air elements, and the control of thereof. (2) view the intensity of energy output via wavelengths (3) explore the energy output of wavelengths (frequency). NOTE: The one thing that seems to go unexplained or bypassed in most scientific questions is GRAVITY. Think about it like this.....if the earth's geomagnetic field can direct solar wind (750 km/s) and the sun's magnetic field (Heliosphere) can direct galactic wind (unknown km/s) think about the benefits of transferring solar/galactic wind to WORK :)
What is the energy transfer between particles as they collide within a substance or between two objects in contact called?
Heat: the transfer of energy from the particles of a warmer object to the particles of a cooler object. (Source: Nelson Science and Technology Grade 7 Textbook, page 186.)
How does energy from heat transfer from a hot source to a cold source?
Convection
What is the transfer of food energy from one source to another in stages is called?
energy chain
What parts of the earth provide us with energy?
None. There is only a transfer of energy. You obtain the energy from a consumed source example: you eat food which causes a transfer of energy but the food does not provide energy.
Is wind a reneweble energy source or non reneweble energy source?
Wind energy is a renewable resource, as there will always be wind.
Is wind energy a non-renewable source?
No, wind is a renewable energy source. The wind will always be blowing!
Will a chemical reaction that asborbs energy happen with out a source of energy?
No, a chemical reaction that absorbs energy is called an endothermic reaction. The transfer of heat from the surrounds into the substance. In reactions, energy is always CONVERTED, not created which means that nothing can be converted i.e. heat to chemical if there is no heat or initial energy.
What is maximum power transfer theorem?
Max efficiency of energy transfer can only occur when impedence source matches the impedence of the load.
Energy flows into the biological world from?
The Sun is the primary source of all biological energy. This biological energy is then transferred from one source to another through a variety of steps. Nature performs this transfer.
How do vibrations produce sound?
A sound wave is a transfer of energy as it travels away from a vibrating source.
What is it called when thermal energy flows from one source to the other?
Heat transfer.
Why is tidal energy not likely to be a potential source of energy?
potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position and the tide is always in motion not standing still hence it is a source of kinetic energy.
What is communication in terms of transfer and transformation of energy?
Communication in terms of energy involves the transfer and transformation of information from a main source to its receiver. Rapid transmissions are what keeps the modern world functioning effectively.
