Wind and water energy are both indirect forms of
a). nuclear energy
b). electrical energy
c). solar energy
d). geothermal energy
Which of the following is not a biomass fuel?
a). methane
b). gasohol
c). hydrogen
d). sugar cane waste
The particle used to start a nuclear fission reaction is a
a). neutron
b). electron
c). proton
d). atom
A part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction is called a
a). turbine
b). control rod
c). heat exchanger
d). fuel rod
True or False, if false change the underlined word to make the statement true:
The process of burning a fuel for energy is called refinery
True or False, if false change the underlined word to make the statement true:
Most of the energy used today comes from biomass fuels
True or False, if false change the underlined word to make the statement true:
Products made from petroleum are called hydrocarbons
True or False, if false change the underlined word to make the statement true:
Geothermal energy is an example of a nonrenewable energy source
True or False, if false change the underlined word to make the statement true:
Insulation means reducing energy use.
Classify the different energy sources from the table according to whether they are renewable or nonrenewable.
The interior of a car or a window sill with the sun shining on it heats up on a sunny day because of
a). passive solar heating
b). solar cells
c). active solar heating
d). indirect solar heating
The main function of a dam in producing electriicty is to _________
a). form a reservoir for recreation
b). prevent flooding after a heavy rain
c). Provide a source of fast moving water
d). provide a source of wind
Geothermal energy is not a widely used source of energy because ____
a). dams can have negative effects on the environment
b). methane gas is produced as a waste product
c). it is difficult to store
d). magma only comes close to Earth's surface in a few locations
b). Wood
c). solar energy
c). hydrogen
a). neutron
d). fuel rod
False, combustion
False, fossil fuels
True
False, renewable
False, energy conservation
Oil is obtained by drilling from oil rigs either on ground or in water. Natural gas is obtained by drilling into the ground and piping out the natural gas. Coal is mined.
1). Solar cells on the roof generate an electric current, a battery stores energy for later use
2). Solar water heat to boil water and create steam
3). large windows act as passive solar energy collectors
Wind blows and turns a turbine. The turbine is connected to a generator. When the wind blows, the turbine turns and generates electricity.
Control rods made of cadmium or boron are inserted between the fuel rods. They absorb neutrons released during fission and slow the speed of the chain reactions.
They are all nonrenewable sources of energy and need to be combusted to produce energy. They are in different states of matter; oil is a liquid, coal is a solid, natural gas is a gas.
This is a nucler fission reaction. After the neutron "bullet" hits the nucleus, the nucleus is split and more nucleus are created from the spare neutrons, which generates more energy.
Nuclear energy
Renewable
Nuclear, hydroelectric
Nonrenewable
Oil, natural gas, coal
Good
Consistent source of energy during the summer months since the summer months have sunlight for a large amount of the 24 hour day
or
Bad
There is not enough sun during winter to power a solar house and this is the time when energy is needed the most, not during the summer when temperatures are mild.
or
Really any explanation that shows your brain functions.
A fluroscent lightbulb is more efficient because it uses 1/4th the energy of a incandescent bulb to provide the same amount of light. Therefore, it takes more energy to power an incandescent bulb, making it less efficient than a fluorscent bulb.
a). passive solar heating
c). provide a source of fast moving water
(to turn the turbines which are connected to the generator)
d), magma ony comes close to Earth's surface in a few locations
c). U-235 atoms are splut by nuclear fusion
The massive amounts of heat and pressure generated by nuclear fusion current exceed our ability to control a fusion reaction.
