1: How does the energy crisis in Ancient Greece and Rome compare to the oil crisis today? Explain.

The energy crisis in Ancient Greece and Rome was because of exhaust of wood supply. In the crisis today, Wood peaked in 1880, coal in 1920 and now reaching the peak of oil and gas use. The decisions we make will effect energy use for generations. 2: What is work? Definition and mathematical equation. Work is exerting force over a distance. Force x distance. * Chemical Energy: energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds * Kinetic Energy: energy associated with movement * Heat Energy: The energy of friction slows down movement * Potential Energy: potential to move something 3: What is the first law of thermodynamics? Total energy must be conserved. 4: What does it mean to have a higher quality of energy? more easily converted to work. 5: What is the second law of thermodynamics? Energy goes from a higher quality to a lower quality. 6: Define: First-Law Efficiency The First-Law Efficiency Deals with the amount of energy without consideration of the quality or availability. The efficiency of an energy-conversion process as defined by the first law of thermodynamics 7: Define: Second-Law Efficiency Refers to how matched the energy use is compared to the energy source. Low values show where technological improvements can be. 8: What is the fundamental energy unit in the Metric System? How is it defined? Joule is the fundamental energy unit in the Metric System. It is defined as a force of 1 Newton (N) applied over a distance of 1 m. 9: What is POWER? How is it expressed? Power is the rate of doing work. Expressed: work/time. 10: What is thermal efficiency? Maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine.

11: What is electrical resistivity? What does it cause? A measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current causes electric energy to convert to heat energy.

12: What percentage of the energy in the United States is derived from fossil fuels? 90% 13: What percentage of the energy use in the United States is used efficiently? 50% Conservation: Using less energy and adjusting energy needs and uses to minimize energy needed. 15: Cogeneration: number of processes designed to capture and use waste heat. 16: In the United States, space heating and cooling of homes and offices, water heating, industrial processes and automobiles account for nearly ______% of the total energy use 60 17: What is a passive solar energy system? Give examples. They collect solar heat without moving parts. Example: Design buildings to take advantage of passive solar potential. Design a home with plastic bottles.

18: What are some ways that older homes can be modified to be more energy efficient? Better insulation, use of passive solar designs. 19: U.S. Industry consumes about ______ of the energy produced. 1/3 20: Name 3 ways that people could modify their behavior to help save energy Recycling, Carpooling, take short showers, buy a hybrid car. 21: What is the concept of Integrated, Sustainable Energy Management? No single energy source, environmentally benign, and sustainable. 22: What is the concept of micropower? Using small distributed to produce power/electricity. 23: How much energy in exajoules, did the world use in 2010 and what would you project global energy use to be in 2030? The world used 250 Exajoules in 2010. 24: The average person emits as heat 100 watts of power. If we assume that 25% of it is emitted by the brain, how much energy does your brain emit as heat in a year? 100 watts *.25=25 watts*365 days=9125

25: Can the world supply one-third more energy by 2030 without unacceptable environmental damage? How? No, due to overusing useful resources that will be needed. By 2030 we will be searching for new resources because the ones that we have now will run out. 26: In what specific ways could energy be used more efficiently in the United States? Pass laws to make energy be used more efficiently. Education will also be very helpful to inform people that we need to conserve our resources.
