Energy


 * Kinetic energy** is energy of motion. A rubber band flying through the air has kinetic energy. When you are walking or running your body is exhibiting kinetic energy.**Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy**. Before the yo-yo begins its fall it has stored energy due to its position. At the top it has its maximum potential energy. As it starts to fall the potential energy begins to be changed into kinetic energy. At the bottom its potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy so that it now has its maximum kinetic energy. A waterfall has both potential and kinetic energy. The water at the top of Bridal Veil Falls has stored potential energy. When the water begins to fall, its potential energy is changed into kinetic energy. This change in energy also happens at Niagara Falls where it is used to provide electricity from the transformation of mechanical and electromagnetic energy to parts of the northeastern United States.

What is energy?: Energy is when you move, the thing that powers your electrical things, and it’s in the food you eat. There are 12 types of energies, Thermal, Electrical, Nuclear, Kinetic, Chemical, Gravitational,Light, Sound, Hydro, Wind, Potential and Mechanical. The higher an object is the more Gravitational and Potential energy it has. Battery= potential energy Movement=kinetic energy Potential= stored energy Kinetic=motion energy

Renewable and Non Renewable energy: Renewable energy is a natural resource which __can__ be reproduced over and over and over... again. examples of renewable energy Biomass, Wind, Solar and Hydro.

Non Renewable energy is a natural resource which __can't__ be reproduced, regenerated or regrown, examples of non renewable energy Coal, Oil, Gas, Nuclear.

Solar energy: Solar energy is expensive because the goverment does not allow home owners to install their own system. Solar energy comes from the sun. 0.10% of things in the world is powered by solar energy. Solar energy gets converted through solar panels. Solar energy is a renewable source of energy.

Geothermal energy: In the greek language GEO means earth, and THERMAL means heat. Geothermal energy is created by the earth pulling water into the earths core making steam turning the turbine which makes geothermal energy. Geothermal energy has beem used for 1000's of years for cooking. Geothermal energy is a renewable source of energy.

Wind energy: Wind energy is created by wind turbines spinning that becomes motion energy. Wind turbines does not produce much energy, so wind turbines are planted in large amounts. Windmills does the same things as wind turbines. Wind energy is a renewable source of energy. 

Hydro energy: Hydro energy is made from water. When water flows or falls energy can be generated. Hydro energy doesnt produce any green house gas but is still hurts the environment. because you need to cut down trees to make the turbines. Hydro energy is a renewable source of energy.
