What is a renewable resource
A resource that can only be used during certain seasons with certain weather conditions.
Resources that form at a rate that is much slower than the rate at which energy is consumed.
A resource that can be replaced at the same rate at which they are consumed to produce energy.
A resource that can be replaced only if a certain amount of energy is used.
What is an energy resource?
A resource that can be reused as soon as it is produced.
A resource found from inside the earth.
A natural resource that can only be produced from fossil fuels.
A natural resource that can be converted into other forms of energy in order to do useful work.
How is oil used as a fossil fuel?
It was formed from the remains of living organisms from the past.
Oil is replaced as soon as it is used.
Oil is not a fossil fuel it is a form of energy that is renewable.
Oil uses inorganic materials to produce energy.
How is hydroelectrical (water) energy used?
Flowing water combines with other fossil fuels in order to produce electricity.
Solar energy combines with flowing water in order to produce electricity.
Flowing water is converted into electricity.
Rain water is captured and converted into thermal energy.
Which different types of energy are converted when wind energy occurs?
Kinetic, mechanical, and electrical
Kinetic, radiant, and mechanical
Kinetic and mechanical
Kinetic, chemical, and electrical
Which are examples of non renewable resources?
Solar energy, oil, and wind energy.
Solar energy, wind energy, and water energy.
Coal, oil, and wind
Coal, oil, natural gas
Other than potential and kinetic energy, which energy conversions take place when coal is converted into electrical energy?
Electrical and chemical
Chemical, thermal, mechanical, and electrical
Chemical, thermal, and sound
Chemical, mechanical, and electrical
How does a solar panel work to produce energy?
Solar panels turn photons from the sun into DC electricity.
Solar panels convert sound energy into radiant then electrical energy to produce power.
Solar panels turn protons and electrons from the sun into AC electricty.
Solar panels produce energy when any type of work is done
What do renewable and non renewable resources have in common?
They produce electrical energy in different ways.
They produce sound energy.
They produce electrical and sound energy.
Each type of energy conversion involves mechanical energy.
How do you know wind energy has mechanical energy involved in its conversion to produce electricity?
The blades stay still and produce electricity.
The generator on the inside has stored chemical energy.
The blades turn and rotate in a circular motion and the generator on the inside spins.
The sound from the turbine produces mechanical energy.
How is hydroelectric (water) energy gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy?
The water starts at a low position and is absorbed into the ground.
The water starts at a position high above the ground then flows down an intake producing motion.
There is no potential or kinetic energy in this example.
The water has stored potential energy but no kinetic energy.
How does the sun produce energy for other organisms.
The sun only produces energy for inorganic material.
The sun feeds humans and gives them energy.
The sun gives the grass and plants energy which is transferred into humans when we eat vegetables.
The sun gives houses light energy without solar panels to produce electricity.
How do we know there is mechanical energy in a geothermal system to produce electricity for a home.
Turbines are moving.
The Earth is moving.
Water is moving.
There is no mechanical energy.
How do we know there is mechanical energy when solar energy takes place?
Due to the energy received from the solar panel.
The motion of electricity.
There is no mechanical energy because there is no circular motion or turning of any kind of wheels.
The suns rays.
Which type of energy is stored in a solar panel?
Chemical
Mechanical
Sound
Kinetic
