Many times we say look at the energy of that athlete or the batteries no longer have energy, those are common uses for this word, but what is the energy?   The concept of energy is related to the ability to generate movement or achieve the transformation of something. In the economic and technological area, energy refers to a natural resource and the associated elements that make it possible to make an industrial use of it. Various types of energy can be detailed according to the field of study. Mechanical energy, for example, is the combination of  kinetic energy and potential energy Energy can also be classified by source. Nonrenewable energy is called that which comes from exhaustible sources, such as that from petroleum, coal or natural gas. In contrast, renewable energy is virtually infinite, such as wind (generated by wind) and solar. The basis of the use of these renewable energies is that they opt for an energy that takes advantage of inexhaustible natural sources,

5º 2ª: RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY Which are the renewable sources of energy used in Agentina? Where are they produced? 1)"Renewable energies" are those energy sources based on the use of the sun, wind, water or plant or animal biomass, among others. They are characterized by not using fossil fuels - as happens with conventional energies - but resources capable of renewing unlimited. Its environmental impact is of less magnitude given that in addition to not using finite resources, they do not generate pollutants. Its benefits range from the diversification of the country's energy matrix to the promotion of national industry; and from the development of regional economies to the boost to tourism. 2) The provinces of Santa Cruz, Chubut, Río Negro and Buenos Aires concentrate the greatest Argentine wind potential.

Ten types of energy

Ten types of energy. There are TEN types of energy in this video Draw a T-chart. Each column has a name: TIME & TYPE OF ENERGY Watch the video and complete it Be careful, they're no in the correct order: KINETIC, NUCLEAR, GRAVITATIONAL, CHEMICAL, SOUND, ELASTIC, ELECTRICAL, TIDAL,HEAT, LIGHT, MAGNETIC. Which type of energy is NOT in the video? DEFINE the NEW types of energy. Answer: TIME ENERGY 0.03 Magnetic 0.27 Kinetic 0.40 Heat 0.47 Light 0.57 Gravitational 1.02 Chemical 1.27 Sound 1.55 Elastic 2.09 Electrical 2.17 Nuclear New Energy  Wind power Airflows can be used to run wind turbines. Modern utility-scale wind turbines range from around 600 kW to 5 MW of rated power, although turbines with rated output of 1.5–3 MW have become the most common for commercial use. The largest generator capacity of
