Trash to enery refers to incineration. Modern incinerators burn the waste material to create steam that in turn fuels an electrical generator. The emmissions that are created during the burning process are "scrubbed" to reduce the pollution that is emmitted into the environment.

What is the energy transformation of dropping an apple core into the garbage?

The potential energy of the apple core due to its position is converted into kinetic energy as it falls into the garbage. Eventually, some of the kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy due to friction with the garbage bag.


What is the energy transformation for dropping an apple core into the garbage?

As it drops from a height, the potential energy of the apple transforms into kinetic energy. Once it lands in the garbage, the kinetic energy gets dissipated as thermal energy. As the core begins to decompose, the chemical energy in it gradually transforms into other chemical energy with the release of thermal energy as a byproduct.


Can laser disintegrate garbage?

Not really. A laser focuses energy on a very small point. A strong enough laser could set garbage on fire. Even if you you were to use a wider beam and still have it be strong enough to have any real effect, you would need quite a bit of energy. Even then you would really just be burning the garbage, which is likely to produce toxic chemicals.


How does garbage harm the environment?

Garbage can harm the environment in several ways, such as through air, water, and soil pollution. It can release harmful chemicals and greenhouse gases when incinerated or decomposed. Improper disposal of garbage can also attract pests and spread diseases, impacting ecosystems and human health.


What is the energy transformation of a sink?

The energy type that a sink uses is mechanical because the water is pushed by the pression.

What energy is thought as garbage?

There isn't one - no energy is "garbage". You could recover energy as heat from garbage by burning it for heating purposes or to raise steam to drive turbo-alternators.

Is garbage a geothermal energy?

No garbage is not geothermal. Geothermal means heat from under the ground like the power under volcanoes. Garbage can be used as biomass, which is a renewable form of energy. The garbage can be burnt (or organic garbage can be fermented to generate methane, which can be burnt) to produce electricity.
