a. chemical energy b. potential energy c. solar energy d. thermal energy e. more kinetic energy p.s. if you arn’t going to answer right aka robert down there, then please don’t bother. Thermal Energy. Because the temperature of the body … Continue reading →

i: use copper pipes ii: have a black surface iii: has a large suface area 1/ Copper is a good heat conductor (which is a reason not to use it!). But it is:- easy to work with, relatively cheap, and … Continue reading →

This is an extra credit i really need please help it would be very helpful!!!! The simple answer is through electromagnetic interaction. The photon energy of the incoming radiation is transferred in whole or in part to atoms in the … Continue reading →

Is this energy resoure used in Australia? and if so to what extent? (Is it a large-scale energy resoure, or just used on a small scale? Where in Australia is it used – accross most of the country or only … Continue reading →

what is the difference between them both? Or are they the same? and what is solar thermal energy? its all really confusing! can someone explain what they are? Thanks in advance! Photovoltaic is one form of solar energy utilization. But … Continue reading →

You are referring to types of ways to collect the sun’s energy. All the sun’s energy is comes to the Earth as electromagnetic radiation. (no it is not radioactive) PV cells capture mostly visible light and transform it directly into … Continue reading →

A) Electrical energy is converted to solar energy. B) Nuclear energy is converted to solar energy. C) Radiant energy is converted to electrical energy. D) Thermal energy is converted to electrical energy. C – Light (Radiant energy) is converted to … Continue reading →

no chance for dangerous nuclearists. storage a thermal pile can be cheaply realized by using the passage of solid and liquid phases. 1 m3 of NaCl(very cheap) can be melted by using about 300 kwh of thermal energy. 1 m3 … Continue reading →

Had to do a lab that involved placing three different objects (empty can, a can filled with water, a brick) under a light and recording the temperature every 15 minutes for 45 minutes, then the light was turned off and … Continue reading →

Solar thermal is one of the least expensive and most effective ways to use solar energy. There are different ways of using it to heat water or your home, some more costly than others. The overall cost will depend on … Continue reading →
