WHAT IS WASTE OF ENERGY LIKE?

**Susana C, 17 may 2011**

**SYNTHESISED INFORMATION**

**Energy is the power used by humans for specific tasks.**

**Cars and light trucks consume 60% of the total energy used for transportation, large trucks and construction vehicles, airplanes, trains, buses, and pipelines consume the rest.**

**Natural gas and heating oil are used for home heating. Electricity can also be used for heating and cooling, it lights our homes and it allowed our objects function: refrigerators, toasters, computers, etc.**

**About 80% of the home energy use is consumed in single-family homes, 15% is consumed in multi-family homes such as apartments, and 5% is consumed in mobile homes.**

**As you can see our life depends on energy.**

**There are different kinds of energy, some are cheaper and economic than others.**


 * **Electricity - energy that runs objects **
 * ==**Biomass Energy - energy from plants** ==
 * ==**Therm** al Energy - it is produce by collecting heat from sun or earth´s crust ( layer)  ==
 * ==**Fossil Fuels - Coal, Oil and Natural Gas** ==
 * ==**Hydro Power and Ocean Energy** ==
 * ==**Nuclear** Ene rgy - energy that is go out when the nuclei of atoms are split or join.  ==
 * ==**Solar Energ y - <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">made by solar panels, it receives the heat from the sun and produces energy ** ==
 * ==**<span style="color: #800080; font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Wind Energy - <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">made by a wind mill that recieve the wind velocity and produce energy **==
 * **Water energy - made by tourbines that recieve the constant high pressure of the water**


 * <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Verdana,serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">But there is a problem.We are using this energy in excess. We are OVER USING IT. We use energy in unnecessary things, we turn on lights when there is sun light, we leave the plugs connect when our computer, cellphone or camera is already charged, we leave the air conditioner on all the night, we let the fans on all day, we are wasting lots of energy. The sources from which energy is made would finish. This is becoming a major problem. **

There are different kinds of energy which are

Solar energy (made by solar panels, it recieves the heat from the sun and produces energy)

Wind Energy (made by a wind mill that recieve the wind velocity and produce energy)

Water energy (made by tourbines that recieve the constant high pressure of the water) ||

Energy can be classified as either stored (potential) energy and working (kinetic) energy. All energy can be measured in “Joules”.

**Potential Energy** = the energy that an object has as the result of its position or state. Some examples of potential energy include: chemical, elastic, gravitational, magnetic…

**Kinetic Energy** =<span style="font-size: 1.4em; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">** the energy that appears in the form of an object’s motion. ** = 1/2mv2. Some examples of kinetic energy include: sound, electrical, light…

**Mechanical Energy** = kinetic and potential energy (of lifting, bending, stretching or twisting)

|| || For instance, it is possible to calculate the potential energy of an apple that is 2 meters above the head of a businessman. The equation is: **Gravitational****Potential Energy = mgh.** Mass = m. The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s2 and h is the distance above the man’s head. **Gravitational Potential Energy**

**Thermal Energy** = the total energy of the particles that make up a mass. Thermal energy is internal.

**Heat** = is a transfer of energy from one part of a substance to another, or from one object to another, because of a difference in temperature. Heat is a form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules and is capable of being transmitted through solid and fluid media by conduction, through fluid media by convection, and through empty space by radiation. Heat is not contained in a mass; an object contains thermal energy.

**Light Energy** = Sometimes called radiant energy and is visible to the human eye. It is emitted by moving charged particles. Light sometimes behaves like particles, called photons, and at other times like waves.

**Chemical Energy** = The potential <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-right: 10px; text-decoration: none;">[|energy] held in the <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-right: 10px; text-decoration: none;">[|covalent bonds] between <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-right: 10px; text-decoration: none;">[|atoms] in a <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-right: 10px; text-decoration: none;">[|molecule]. Food is essentially stored potential energy.

**Nuclear Energy** = energy that is released when the nuclei of atoms are split (fission) or fused together (fusion).

**Electrical Energy** = energy that runs our appliances etc…

<span style="color: #ff0093; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">Energy is power. It is the power that allows you to turn on the lights, heat the water to wash yourself and ride the bus or car to school. Is a resource shared all around the world that helps the people to do the work and to makes things easier, but in school people use it so much that they are wasting it without knowing.

**Energy makes change possible. We use it to do things for us. It moves cars along the road and boats over the water. It bakes a cake in the oven and keeps ice frozen in the freezer. It plays our favorite songs on the radio and lights our homes.**

===<span style="color: #099f9f; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">Here are some simple things that you can do to save energy in a classroom... *If you don't need them, turn the lights off. *When it is hot, turn off the lights or open a window instead of air conditioning. *When it is cold, close the door and windows to keep more heat in. *Put recycling bins for cans (if food / drinks are allowed in the class) and especially for paper materials to be recycled. *If you have a sink, don't let the water run. *Unplug things (projectors, computers, lamps, and things that go into a wall outlet) - if possible - when they are not in use. *Use energy-efficient light bulbs. ===
