Lab - 3-12-12 - Uses of Energy

Uses of Energy:





1. When a computer is in use, which different types of energy can you observe are in use?

2. If the power goes out where you live, what are some alternative things you could do or use to replace the electrical energy you do not have?

3. We keep our houses clean in many different ways. Write about how you might use thermal, electrical, mechanical, light, and sound energy to keep your home clean. You can use any examples you wishes long as you use supportive reasoning in your response and cover all of the forms of energy listed above.

  1. 1. Thermal, electrical, light, and sound energy
    2. Generators
    3. We can use thermal energy for the dryer, Electrical and light energy when we walk into a room to clean it up and forget where the light switch is so we use our phones as light and electrical sources, Sound to communicate where and what to clean up, and mechanical energy to make things fun you can shoot the dirty laundry in the laundry hamper.

  2. Hello Mrs. Rollins it is Meghan S.
    1. heat, sound, light, and electrical
    2. Use a gas powered genorator,light some candles, use flashlights, and more
    3. mechanical-hand held duster and broom
    electrical-vacume cleaner
    light-solar energy dries clothes
    sound-machine that makes a sound to repel rodents from your house
    thermal-dryer
    Thanks Mrs Rollins for making lab so fun.

    1= sound,heat, electrical,light.
    2= you could use a generator to power your house.
    3= thermostat,vacum,wireless phones,lamps,music

  5. 1. A computer uses and makes many different pes of energy that include light, heat and sound.
    2. You could use candles for light and a fire to make heat and cook.
    3. You can use a laundry machine, which gives off some heat (thermal energy), a Vaccum cleaner, which is very noisy (sound energy) and uses electricity (electrical energy), a UV light to disinfect (light energy). Finally when you are done you can lift up (mechanical energy) the trash bags and put them in the trash outside.

    1. Electrical, heat, sound, and light.
    2. You could use a candle, something solar-connected, or something that is battery powered.
    3. You use electrical and mechanical energy while vacuuming the floor. You plug it in to make it work(electrical) and moving it back and forth(mechanical) it makes a sound .you also might use a light to look for dust(light). Turn up the air temp to repel insects(thermal)

    1.light, sound, electrical

    2.a generator, and solar powered things

    3.- i use my iPod to listen to music while I'm cleaning for sound energy.
    -I also use a light bulb to see what I'm cleaning.
    -for mechanical energy i use my car to go to the store to pick up any cleaning supply i don't have.
    -i use electrical i plug in a vacuum
    -i use thermal energy by using the dryer while I'm doing laundry

    heat, eletricle, light.

    batteries.

    thermal keeps us warm and eletrical power vacums to work and mechanial helps us move a duster to dust. Light energy helps us see what were doing.

    1. Electric, heat, light, sound sometimes
    2. Light bulb
    3. We use heat by the vacuum cleaner and the vacuum cleaner is also electric and sound. Mechanical energy by picking things up. Light energy we could use the light bulb to help us see where we are and what we are cleaning.

    1. Computers use electrical, light and sound energy.

    2. If power went out we could use flashlight, candle, gas stove.

    3. We use hot water (heat energy)to clean. We use vacuum (electrical energy)to clean rugs. We use lights (light energy) to see what we are cleaning. We use (mechanical energy) which cause by pressure of water jet.

    1 computer uses electricity.

    2 read with candle light. Cook with fire, hand wash the cloth.

    3 Thermal - use hot water in dish washer to kill germs.
    Electrical - vacuum cleaner uses exetricity.
    Mechanisl - sweep the floor with a boom.
    Light - to clean, we need to see and we need little to see.
    Sound - sound scares away pests.

    1. It gives off light, mechanical,electrical, and heat energy.
    2. You could use solar energy or use batteries for flashlights and fans.
    3.
    thermal- you could use thermal if it is really cold and you can't get up, to warm yourself up and start moving!
    Electrical-You plug a vacuum into the wall outlet and it gives it power.
    Mechanical- You use your arms moving back and forth picking up things.
    Light- You can plant a light somewhere where you want bugs then many bugs will go more near there than on your house.
    Sound- A vacuum makes sound while it is working.

    I LOVE LAB!!!!!!!

    1. Light, Electrical, Heat and if the audio is on, Sound

    2. You could use a generator, a flashlight or a candle

    3. Thermal: Boil combs and brushes so you don't spread lice or other bugs Electrical: A vacuum would clean dustmites and things out of your carpets
    Mechanical: Dusting shelves with a duster to dust of any dirt
    Light: A lamp so that you could be able to see to do all this stuff
    Sound: Use a bell to distract any animals (A.K.A my cat)

    2)generator,flash light,and candles
    3)well, one is a heater wich is thermal energy , then for electrical energy my T.V., after that theres mechanical energy wich is a wined up clock, then oh no here comes light energy wich i have an example for and that example is the light bulb in my refrigerator, and last but sertanly not least sound energy hold on to your seats because these sound waves are going to vibrate you away its my CD PLAYER!!!!!!

    Sorry again Mrs.Rollins for not doing my blog last time.

    1,heat,light,electrical,sound

    2.flashlight,generator,candles,moon or sun light,a computer(will lose battery from 100% to 0% but it still give you light for 30 min. weird idea though.:-))

    3.Thermal- the dryer
    Eletricity- work the washer so it can wash clothes keeping us clean, avoid bugs.
    mechanical- hold broom to sweep floor;wipe tables;wash dishes;and others
    light- light in the fridge keep foods from rotting,that means it also keep ants,bugs and cookroaches too.
    sound- (this is a weird answer but it is reasonable.)Loud sound scare off bugs and cookroaches and rats(sometimes they'll die).

    Mrs.Rollins....YOU ROCK!!!!!

  43. 1.Light, heat, and sound
    2.generator, solar powered things like tv ac
    3. the thermal could be used to be the heater,sound could be a tv or a mp3 player. light would be light bulbs to have light in the house, the ac is a mechanical energy.and last the electrical energy would be for tv
