What makes up the energy released in a nuclear detonation?
nuclear binding energy
What energy is needed to break up a nucleus of an atom?
the nuclear binding energy
What is nuclear energy made of?
Nuclear Energy is made up of atoms that can be naturally made or man made.
How is nuclear energy and fusion energy different?
Nuclear energy as we use it now is from nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the joining up of nuclei rather than the splitting (fission), but it is not yet available on Earth.
What makes up nuclear energy?
radioactivity.
How do you convert nuclear energy to potential energy?
You could for instance convert the nuclear energy to mechanical or electrical energy and use it to pump water up into a high reservoir, where it will have potential energy.
How does nuclear power do?
Nuclear power works by splitting open nuclear atoms. The energy escapes and opens up more nuclear atoms. The scientists use this energy to power homes and appliances.
Is atomic energy and nuclear energy the same?
Yes, atomic energy was the term used up to the 50's, then nuclear energy became the normal term, it is more correct.
Which is NOT a factor in why nuclear energy has failed to live up to the initial hopes that it would solve nations' energy needed?
Available plutonium and uranium are reserved for nuclear weapons is not a factor in why nuclear energy has failed to live up to the hopes that it would solve the nations' energy needed. Many people worry about the safety of nuclear reactors.
Should nuclear energy be used in Australia?
It is entirely up to the Australian public and Government, there can't be any justification for saying "should", but up to now opinion has been resolutely opposed.
Does water have nuclear energy?
Yes, but more specifically, the atoms that make up the water molecule have nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is what hold the atoms together. It holds the nuetrons and protons together within the nucleus of the atom. So anything that has nuetrons and protons has nuclear energy.
Why is sun give off tremendous amount of solar energy?
Gravity compresses the Sun up to a point at which it has a high temperature and pressure in its center. This causes the nuclear fusion, which is the source of energy of the Sun.
