Give two examples of how this type of energy is used in our lives. Example: heat is one of the most important forms of energy. We use heat in many ways. (1) the sun, (2) the earth, (3) mechanical energy, (4) chemical reactions, (5) electricity, and (6) nuclear energy.

Energy exists in many different forms. Examples of these are: light energy, heat energy, mechanical energy, gravitational energy, electrical energy, sound energy, chemical energy, nuclear or atomic energy and so on. Each form can be converted or changed into the other forms.

Terms in this set (7)

• mechanical energy (kinetic or potential) kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object.
• heat energy (thermal)
• light energy (electromagnetic energy)
• sound energy.
• nuclear energy.
• electrical energy.
• chemical energy.

What type of energy does each of the examples contain?

Pizza consumption is the second highest source of daily energy among children 2 to 18 years old.

How does thermal energy transfer when a slice of pizza is warmed in the microwave? Air currents cause particles in the pizza to circulate. Direct contact of the pizza with the oven creates heat. Electromagnetic waves transmit heat to the pizza.

So the cheese, with its high specific heat, gives up more heat than the crust and hence heats your mouth more. All of which is fine, but actually it may simply be that the crust cools faster than the cheese while the pizza is sitting on your plate.

The cheese layer on top is well insulated on the layer of pizza crust, so it stays fairly hot. That’s because the cheese has a high heat capacity, probably about 3.7 kJ/kg*K, and the crust has a heat capacity that depends on its moisture content and other factors, but it’s probably close to 1.7 (similar to wood).

16-20 minutes

Increasing the cooking temperature allows gas within the dough to expand quickly, which results in a fluffier overall product. Now that you know that higher temperatures are favorable for cooking pizza, you might be wondering how you can achieve this without having your own wood-fired brick oven.

Bake pizza: Bake pizza in the 475°F oven, one at a time, until the crust is browned and the cheese is golden, about 10-15 minutes.

Bake the pizza. If you don’t have a baking stone, bake the pizza right on the baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, then rotate the pizza. If using parchment, slide it out from under the pizza and discard. Bake until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is melted and browned in spots, 3 to 5 minutes more.

450 to 500 degrees

The dome shape reflects heat back to the pizza from all angles, so this produces better radiant heat than a barrel shaped ceiling. Because of better radiant heat, the oven floor is hotter. This means that the resulting conduction cooking will be better too.

Preheat the stone until it reaches 550° F (Pizzacraft stones can withstand 900° F) The correct oven temp for a pizza stone should exceed 500° F if possible. Place room temperature pizza in the center of the stone (do not season stone).

In order to get a crispy-bottomed crust it is very important to preheat the oven at a high temperature of 500F (260C) for at least 30 minutes, preferably one hour before baking with a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to make sure it is really hot before adding pizza on it.

When we go for a run we are using chemical energy in our bodies to produce movement (kinetic energy), which in turn converts to warmth (thermal energy).

Technologically, nuclear systems have been prone to greater construction cost overruns, delays, and longer lead times than similarly sized renewable energy projects. Thus, per dollar invested, the modularity of renewables projects offers quicker emissions reductions than large-scale, delay-prone, nuclear projects.

Nearly all of the energy we use on the earth, be it the light we use for our everyday needs or photosynthesis for plants is derived from one great nuclear reactor, which we call the sun. And without the energy of the sun our world would be devoid of nearly all life forms.

Nuclear power releases less radiation into the environment than any other major energy source. Second, nuclear power plants operate at much higher capacity factors than renewable energy sources or fossil fuels. Nuclear is a clear winner on reliability.
