Mechanical energy
Problems caused by mechanical energy or disadvantages
Although mechanical energy is very helpful it can also be very harmful to the environment.
To create mechanical energy you need to built a machine that will create it on end so that people won't always have to come and create it themselves since they have the machine.
These machines that are built are also quite harmful since they produce a lot of energy to use but if they are worn out or broken then it will cause a lot of money to fix or re-built it.
Advantages of mechanical energy
Mechanical energy helps power different objects and things that we use everyday.
Cars- Cars use mechanical energy that is powered on fuel so then the car can function, mechanical energy would be the gears, engine, Ect
Cooking appliances,Tools,Skin care appliances and other objects powered by mechanical energy, Each one of these objects are powered by and mechanical energy and another type of energy.
Without this simple appliances our daily routines would be disturbed and thus mechanical energy plays an important role in a humans life.
Mechanical energy is also very helpful because it can't run out meaning that there is an endless amount of it since people have figured out ways to create and endless amount of it.
Mechanical energy can also be converted into other types of energy such as if you were to use a car the car would function on the mechanical energy then converting it to kinetic energy.
Electrical energy
Problems caused by electrical energy or disadvantages
A disadvantage to electrical energy would be the high cost for the machines to produce them such a solar panels which help produce electrical energy through the sun or wind turbines that produce electrical energy through wind. These machines tend to cost a lot of money and even more if it were to be damaged.
If chemical liquids are accidentally leaked from the electrical energy producing machines they could cause very harmful accidents and destroy then environment.
If extra fuel is leaked from the machines of these electrical energy producers they would damage their surroundings and cause accidents.
Advantages of electrical energy are
Electrical energy is very important as without it we wouldn't be able to do any of the things that we normally do everyday.
Electrical energy is also an advantage because it can also be transformed to other types of energy such as a blender when you use a blender you need to plug it into a an electrical socket which then powers the blender causing it to use the mechanical energy in it to function.
Electrical energy is also a renewable energy since it can be produced from resources like sun, wind, hydropower and other renewable resources.
Electrical energy powers most of our surroundings such as buildings and other appliances, Electrical energy is also a big source of energy that everybody uses because without out it we wouldn't survive since people are very dependent on it. since electrical energy plays a big part in our lives
light energy
Problems caused by light energy or disadvantages
Light energy also has its disadvantages since we get light from the sun it goes away every night so using it to help power house or buildings would be difficult if it were to rain or when its turns night time.
the Cost, The cost to transform light energy to another types of energy is a lot since you need solar panels to transform the energy and solar panels are very expensive.
advantages of light energy
Light energy is what gives us light to be able to see and function in our everyday lives, the sun is what provides the light that we use everyday outside and inside our homes we use sources of light from electrical energy and other ways.
Since The sun powers mostly all of the light that we see everyday without it the world would fall into complete darkness and there would major accidents and people would hurt and injured since there would be no light cars, trucks will all get into accidents and people will also hurt each other since there is no light to see.
Light energy is also a big advantage because it doesn't cause any pollution, unlike the other types of energy it doesn't cause pollution since its a
renewable source of energy meaning that its unlimited.
Light energy is also can be transformed into other types of energy such as solar panels, solar panels use heat from the sun to power other types of machines, like if a solar panel is placed on top of a house then the solar panel will attract the sun and use the energy from the sun to power it into another energy like electrical energy.
thermal energy
Problems caused by thermal energy
Thermal energy cost a lot to price other types of energy also these machines can release harmful gases while making it.
Thermal energy can sometimes be very powerful and release harmful gases when being to hot these gases can cause air pollution and destroy the earth.
Advantages of thermal energy
Thermal energy is what gives us heat and without it the world would fall into complete coldness since humans wouldn't be able to function without heat we rely on it.
thermal energy is also a renewable energy because the sun is what gives us the heat and that way no fuels would have to be used to produce it.
thermal energy also doesn't pollute the earth so we wouldn't have to worry about the earth being destroyed while using thermal energy
sound energy
Problems caused by sound energy
Load sounds can cause sound waves like if there were to be a large explosion it could cause sound waves meaning that if there were an ocean near by the big explosion it would cause sound waves causing the ocean to react and produce strong waves of water injuring people inside or the marine life.
Loud sounds can also damage our ears since a humans ear is quite sensitive, load sounds can also damage our surrounding such as glass, glass is very sensitive just like a humans ear and will break due to the sound waves just like glass a humans ear could go deaf because the sound is to loud.
advantages of sound energy
Sound energy is what lets us hear things everyday without fail it also lets us know if people are talking or if we can hear threats and enjoy the sound of the world.
Sound energy also helps with alarming people such as an alarm if there is an alarm it can aware people that something will happen.
sound energy does not require any type of fuel since it cam be produced naturally or through a machine, sound energy can also be turned into electrical energy.
