Energy

• Energy


  Capacity to do work
• Mechanical Energy: Potential Energy


  Any type of stored energy
• Potential Energy


  • Can be chemical, nuclear, gravitational or mechanical
• Mechanical Energy: Kinetic Energy


  Energy found in movement
• Thermal Energy


  Also called as internal energy, energy that comes from heat, total energy coming from the attractive and repulsive forces of all the particles or molecules in a body
• Heat Energy


  Energy which flows from one body to another due to a temperature difference between them and the flow is always from the hotter to the colder body
• Electrical Energy


  Can be used to move charged particles through a wire from a power plant to our homes, energy of electrons flowing through conductors, like copper wires and aluminum wires
• Chemical Energy


  Stored in chemical bonds of atoms and molecules
• Radiant Energy


  Energy of the electromagnetic waves, radio waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x rays, and gamma rays
• Nuclear Energy


  Stored potential of the atom's nucleus
• Energy Resources


  Something that can produce heat, power life, move objects, or produce electricity
• Fuel


  Combusting matter to maintain fire, to create heat and power
• Renewable Energy Resources


  Renewed again to again at a faster rate than nature and human consumption
• Solar Energy


  Major future sources of energy, radiation from sun to produce heat, chemical reaction, generate electricity
• Hydro Energy


  Made to fall form height to rotate turbine, which help generate electricity, dams convert mechanical energy into electrical energy
• Wind Energy


  Wind is allowed to rotate the blades of wind mills, which rotate turbines to generate electricity
• Biomass Energy


  Dead organic matter or dead plant and animal parts burned to create fuel
• Geothermal Energy


  Thermal energy inside the earth, converting hot water beneath earths surface into electricity, geothermal reservoir is a natural collection of hot water
• Non-renewable Energy


  Formed inside the earth's crust at a very high temperature and pressure, present in limited amount
• Fossil Fuels


  Formed from heat and compression of earths waste and other organic matter, formed from the decomposition of plants and animals from millions of years ago
• Coal


  Most abundantly found fossil fuel, mined formed from trees and other vegetarian buried in swamps created by the encroaching sea
• Petroleum


  A liquid mixture of gaseous liquid and solid hydrocarbons, natural underground fossil energy resources, formed due to the decomposition of microplankton deposited upon the sea beds, lakes, and river of millions oof years
• Natural Gas


  Composed of entirely of carbon and hydrogen, mixture hyhdrocarbon gases trapped under the earth's surface, 50 to 94% methane and other hydrocarbons
