ENERGY
5 activities that have to do with a form of energy are running, eating, speaking, dancing and playing basketball. When I run I have potential energy before I actually run, I am waiting to run. When I finally run I have more kinetic but unless I am running on an inclined object then I have the same potential energy I have some heat energy also because my heat will begins to rise, my molecules will begin to move faster. Eating begins with kinetic energy because I move my hands faster to mouth. When I eat I break down chemical bonds to get chemical energy. When I speak I have to move my lips to speak so that is kinetic and sound energy comes into place when the waves come out of my mouth and vibrate your ear bones so you can hear what I said. When I dance I have potential when I am getting ready to dance and when I dance I have kinetic energy because I am moving. If I dance harder and faster my molecules move harder and faster so then I feel heat energy. When I play basketball I dribble the ball so it has both kinetic and potential energy. When I shoot the ball I jump and get potential, lose kinetic, fall back down and gain more kinetic.
Oil, coal, natural gas, and uranium are all fossil fuels and non-renewable sources of energy. Oil was made over millions of years so if it disappears it’s gone. Natural gas can only be used in some places not everywhere. Coal is used relentlessly in the United States but it produces tons of CO2 which can majorly injure the earth. Biomass, hydropower, wind and solar energy are all renewable sources of energy. They are all cleaner and more efficient but the reason they are not used more than nonrenewable energy sources is because nonrenewable resources have more power to be generated.

Heat: Energy and Kinetic Energy Theory Essay

Heat and Energy February 7, 2013 The purpose of this paper is to discuss how the study of heat relates to the kinetic energy theory of matter. I will discuss what heat and temperature are, the relationship between them and their differences. I will provide examples of the various properties of a substance that will determine its heat capacity and various sources of heat. In the 1840s scientists understood that heat was not just a substance but a form of energy that…

Essay about Heat Energy

Real-Life Applications of Heat – Heat Energy and Transfer Abstract: This reflective essay addresses heat energy and transfer and how they are used in real-life applications – from the natural world to modern human technology. This essay shows that heat is very important to nearly everything in life and how it is used nearly everywhere. 12/12/11 “Heat energy (or just heat) is a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance (or system) by means of kinetic energy of those particles…

General Physics: The Three Means Of Heating Heat Energy

Physics I Project 2 The three means of transmitting heat energy from one place to another is through conduction, convection, and radiation. These three means can be used in so many ways everyday and you not even know it. Conduction is the transfer of heat between two stationary objects caused by a temperature change. Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids. Radiation is the process of which energy is emitted as particles or waves. Each of these we use…

Melting Ice: Transferring Large Amounts Of Heat Energy

transferring heat energy to the ice -- 80 calories per gram, to be specific. If the pressure stays at one atmosphere, then ice at zero degrees Celsius will turn into water at 0 degrees Celsius once the heat is transferred. The problem now is to find the quickest way to get heat energy into the ice. The quickest ways are also very very dangerous and I do not recommend doing them. Transferring large amounts of heat energy in a short amount of time has the usually unpleasant side effect of getting heat energy…

How Much Energy Is Transferred As Heat When Acids React With Alkalis

Investigating how much energy is transferred as heat when acids react with alkalis Investigating how much energy is transferred as heat when acids react with alkalis Hypothesis The amount of heat transferred differ when altering the volume of acid in a neutralization reaction between acids and alkalis. The amount of heat transferred differ when altering the concentration of acids and alkalis in a neutralization reaction between acid and alkali. Acid and Alkalis Acids Acids are substances…

Essay on Calorimetry-Expirement

Heat of combustion of food (calorimetry) experiment Aim: to demonstrate the estimation of the gross energy value of foodstuffs (heat of combustion). Accurate results require great care with the technique. introduction: Nutritional labels on the foods people eat provide a great information. One of information included is the caloric content of foods. You also probably know that if you eat more calories than you expend in metabolic processes and exercise, you will gain weight…

States of Matter Physics Essay

L3-11 STATES OF MATTER AND CHANGES OF STATE Water and all other forms of matter can exist in three different physical states; solid, liquid or gas The kinetic energy increases within the particles as you go from solid to gas As a substance absorbs thermal energy, the particles will vibrate more (ie. increases in kinetic energy) and the attractions between the particles decreases eventually fusion will occur when the substance melts The temperature will hover at the melting point until all of the…

Science Study Notes Heat And Temperatur Essay

Notes Heat and Temperature Unit C Grade 7 Part A) 1. Theories of heat Caloric theory of heat- Heat energy was a substance (like a liquid or an invisible fluid) which flowed from a hot object to a colder one. But there is one weakness for this theory; why doesn’t the mass of the objects change if the ‘substances’ are flowing in and out of the objects. If the caloric theory of heat was real, the mass of the objects would change. Heat as energy theory- Heat was a form…

University Energy Policy

Lancaster University Energy Policy Introduction Many large organisations in the UK have an energy policy. An energy policy is a report on how the company or organisation plans to save, and not waste, energy in their establishment. It usually states how the energy is distributed and how much is used. In this assignment I am going to research one organisation’s energy policy and look at their aims and how effectively they are using energy. Energy Policy Lancaster University recognises that all aspects…
