It is because that kinetic and heat energy are movement. Nuclear energy is electromagnetic waves that are made of protons, which are objects that move, not simply movement.

Can nuclear energy work with other forms of energy?

Nuclear energy is converted to electrical energy in a nuclear power plant.


Does energy only exist in one form?

Energy exists in many different forms. These include kinetic energy, heat, sound, light and other forms of electromagnetism, nuclear energy, chemical potential energy, gravitational potential energy, etc.


Is radium a source of nuclear energy?

Yes, radium is a source of nuclear energy. Its just not the sort of energy that we can easily convert into other forms, such as electricity.


What are the other four forms of energy besdies kinetic potential machanical and gravitational?

The other four forms of energy are thermal, electrical, chemical, and nuclear. Thermal energy refers to the energy associated with heat, electrical energy is the energy of electric charges, chemical energy is stored in chemical bonds, and nuclear energy is released during nuclear reactions.


What energy do you get from sun?

Solar, radiant, thermo thru thermodynamics, might also include magnetic energy as that is a big part of the solar storms. radiation, Nuclear energy, electromagnetic radiation, such as microwaves, visible light or gamma rays, represents a flow of electromagnetic energy. Energy has a number of different forms. The Sun, nuclear reactors, and the interior of the Earth, all have "nuclear reactions" as the source of their energy, and it causes the other forms as a result.


Is the sun a fossil fuel?

no It uses nuclear energy to make heat and light (2 other forms of energy).


What is the best definition of nuclear energy?

Energy stored in atomic nuclei that can be transformed into other forms of energy by complex power plants.


Does nuclear energy pollute the air?

Absolutely every form of energy we use creates pollution. Even solar and wind do. Nuclear though creates a waste that is very different from other forms of energy. This waste will be around for thousands of years and could kill on contact.


How is nuclear transferred to other forms of energy?

By producing heat which can then produce steam for steam turbine/generators


What is the Comparison of nuclear energy with other forms of energy?

The only difference is how it is made (nuclear energy involves some form of atomic fusion/fission process). Once the electricity leaves the power station, there is no difference.


How is nuclear energy converted into other useful forms of energy?

Nuclear material is allowed to heat in a controlled environment. That heat is used to make steam. the steam runs giant turbines that generate electricity.


Where is the majority of the nuclear energy that lands on Earth produced?

The Sun and other stars make heat & light by nuclear reactions. Nuclear energy is produced two different ways: In one, large nuclei are split to release energy. In the other method, small nuclei are combined to release energy.
