    Solar Energy Paper Every single person who lives on Earth has once seen that big ball of fire in the sky we call the sun. However, what does this bright light do other than blind our eyes and make us wear sunglasses? The sun is a large star that is located in the center of our solar system that is responsible for many things such as Earth’s gravity, temperature, and climate. This celestial star also provides a bright, shining light throughout the entire solar system we use to see, even at night

    globe. In fact, the ocean can store more heat than land surfaces and thus a majority of the thermal energy is in the water. The absorption and movement of energy on earth is known as the ocean-atmosphere system (“Energy in the Ocean and Atmosphere”, n.d.). Heat transfer in the atmosphere is caused with radiation, convection, and conduction. The ocean currents help transfer heat towards the poles. Heat flows from warmer objects

    The Kinetic Theory of Matter states that matter is made of a large number of small particles—individual atoms or molecules—that are in constant motion. This theory is also called the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Matter and the Kinetic Theory. (http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/faqs/electromagnetic­pulse­frequently­asked­questions­faq? library_node=70245) (This theory goes back to nuclear weapons research from the 1950s. In 1958, American tests of hydrogen bombs gave some interesting results. A test

    direction. However, two main problems issues still needed to be solved. Firstly, most of electric propulsion devices are designed for spacecraft; however, low amounts of electrical power are available onboard. Secondly, electric thrusters work with small flows of propellants which result in knockdown acceleration. Both of these could be solved by finding better alternative propellants or coming up with innovative design methods. As one of the world leading technology institutions, Princeton set up the Electric

    object is at a higher temperature than a cold object. Form of energy, measured in Joules, J (b) Heat Heat is transferred from hotter object (higher temperature) to colder object (lower temperature) When an object is heated, it will absorb heat energy and the temperature will increase. When an object is cooled, it will release heat energy and the temperature will decrease. (c) Thermal Two objects are in thermal contact when heat energy contact can be transferred between them. (d)Heat transfer When

    is the person you decide to be!" -Ralph Waldo Emerson Everything is energy! Everyone is made of atoms correct? Well Quantum physics now shows that atoms are made from small waves of energy! In fact everything in this universe, including the universe itself, is pure energy! So how does that help you? This helps you because knowing that everything is energy, you can now see that every single thought you have is pure energy that helps create the things you

    calculated. The G value is known as the Free Energy Change (Campbell pg. 147). If a reaction releases energy and is spontaneous, then it is considered exergonic; and if a reaction absorbs/requires energy, then it is considered endergonic (Campbell pg. 147). When a reaction is exergonic, its G is less than 0, negative, because that means that the potential free energy of the products is less than that of the of the products, while, in endergonic reactions, the free energy of the products is more than that of

    Geothermal Energy The human population is currently using up its fossil fuel supplies at staggering rates. Before long we will be forced to turn somewhere else for energy. There are many possibilities such as hydroelectric energy, nuclear energy, wind energy, solar energy and geothermal energy to name a few. Each one of these choices has its pros and cons. Hydroelectric power tends to upset the ecosystems in rivers and lakes. It affects the fish and wild life population. Nuclear
