REVISION(ENERGY)

1. Coal, petroleum and natural gas are called fossil fuels.  
.

 

2. Biomass fuels are obtained from plants and the organic waste of animals.

3. Mechanical energy is the total kinetic energy and potential energy of an object.

 

3. Nuclear energy is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. It can be used to create atomic bombs and nuclear weapons.

 

4. Principle of conservation of energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another.

5. The use of non-renewable fuels has increased the amount of carbon dioxide and other gasses in the atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect. This has resulted in global warming and climatic changes.

 

6. Use firewood instead of coal as fuel because firewood is renewable.

7. Trees which have been cut down for firewood are replaced through replanting.

8. This will conserve the sources of firewood and reduce the use of coal.

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY

1. We need to do whatever we can to conserve energy sources so that are not depleted too quickly.

What we should do?????

• Use renewable energy sources as alternatives.
• Switch off lights and electrical appliances when not in use.
• Use recycled materials.
• Use energy-efficient lamps such as fluorescent lamps.
• Use public transport such as buses and trains. Car pool to reduce congestion and petrol consumption.
• Develop biomass fuels for transport.

THE NEED TO USE ENERGY WISELY

1. Non-renewable energy sources take millions of years to form.
2. They cannot be replenished within a short time once they are used up.
3. There will be on energy crisis once these energy sources run out.
4. We need to use these sources wisely to

• save cost
• prevent wastage
• reduce pollution
• ensure there is enough energy for the future

RENEWABLE AND NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

1. The energy we use every day comes from two major sources: renewable energy and non-renewable energy sources.
2. Renewable energy is energy that can be replenished. Such energy sources are always available.
3. Non-renewable energy is energy that cannot be replenished when it is used up.

Renewable Energy Sources

The Sun 

• Solar energy comes directly from the Sun.
• Solar energy is used to heat water in homes and to produce electrical energy.

Wind

• Wind is moving air. It has kinetic energy.
• Windmills transform this energy into electrical energy.

Water

• Energy in water is used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.

Biomass

• Biomass energy is obtained from plant and animal waste materials.
• The burning of biomass fuels releases heat energy and generates electrical energy.

Non-Renewable Energy Sources

                                                                             Coal                                                                                     

                                                                   
                                                                          Natural gas                      

                                                                       
                                                                           Petroleum

                                                                                                    

Nuclear reactor

•  Fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas are burnt to produce heat energy for cooking and    moving vehicles and machines.
• These fuels can also be used to generate electricity.
• Nuclear energy is produced in nuclear reactors.
• Nuclear energy is used to generate electrical energy and power submarines, ships and satellites.

4. Renewable energy sources are better than non-renewable energy sources because

• they cannot be used up
• there is little or no pollution

TRANSFORMATION OF ENERGY

1. Energy can be transformed from one form to another.
2. Energy transformation is used in our daily activities.

Switching on lights

When a table lamp is switched on, electrical energy is supplied to the lamp. The bulb in the lamp changes the electrical energy into light energy and heat energy.

                                                         Electrical energy

Winding up a toy car and releasing it

When the spring of the toy car is wound, kinetic energy is changed into potential energy stored in the spring. When the toy car is released, the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and sound energy.

Potential energy

kinetic energy + sound energy
