thermal energy in the earth's crust and kinetic energy

Energy can be defined as the ability to do work. A good source of energy would be the one which would: do a large amount of work per unit volume or mass be easily accessible be easy to store and transport and be economical Fossil Fuel Fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon de..

'Geo' means earth and 'thermal' means heat. Thus geothermal energy is that heat energy obtained from hot rocks present inside the earth. This heat can be used as a source of energy to produce electricity. You know that the innermost layer..

Sunlight falling on the earth's surface equals 50,000 times the energy used each year by man. Almost all our energy comes from sun. The sun's energy is responsible for the tidal energy, heat energy stored in water, the chemical ener..

Wind Energy - Wind energy is one of the first sources of energy known to man. The sun's rays are stronger nearer the equator than in the polar region. This heats the air in equatorial region and warm lighter air rises while cooler polar air moves in to replace it. This..

The Solar Energy - Sunlight falling on the earth's surface equals 50,000 times the energy used each year by man. Almost all our energy comes from sun. The sun's nuclear energy is responsible for the tidal energy, heat energy stor..

Internal Energy - Internal energy is one of the most important concepts in thermodynamics. Energy changes in a body sliding with friction. Warming a body increases its internal energy and cooling the body decreases its internal energy. However, what..

When a part of the metal is heated, the kinetic energy of the electrons in that region increases. Since the electrons are free and mobile, these energetic electrons move rapidly to the cooler parts and transfer their kinetic energy by means of collisions wit..

Conservation of Mechanical Energy - We can see many situations in which energy is transferred to or from objects and systems, similar to money being transferred between accounts. In each situation, we assume that the energy that was involved can be accounted for, that ..

Calculating Kinetic energy using the formula E=(1/2)mv 2 Calculating changes in gravitational potential energy near the Earth Problems involving conservation of energy in simple systems Calculating momentum as the product mv Momentum as a separat..
