Does Uranus continues to generate internal heat through gravitational contraction?
False
Is the energy that a body in movement possess?
Slinky! No, seriously. A slinky at the top of the stairs has POTENTIAL energy, a slinky falling down the stairs has KINETIC energy. Things with the potential to release energy have POTENTIAL energy. Things currently releasing that energy have KINETIC energy. Of course, it could also be a block of uranium, and it's got energy no matter what it's doing. Or it could be a chunk of wood sitting there, it's got thermal & light energy stored inside it, which would be released by rapid oxidization (burning).
What is a neutron stars' source of heat?
A neutron star no longer produces energy - it is a dead star. It will gradually get colder, until it stops emitting any significant amount of heat. Any heat the neutron star radiates is residual heat - heat that was produced earlier, either through fusion, or through the tremendous gravitational collaps that produced the neutron star.
Which is not an example of electrical energy?
There are lots of other types of energy, e.g. sound energy, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, heat energy, etc.
How does accretion heat a planet?
During accretion, any object falling towards a planet will acquire a velocity because of the gravitational attraction from the planet. So, the object will have a kinetic energy due to its motion. During the the collision the kinetic energy is converted to heat energy, and the remain of this heat is actually heating the planet.
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Where does the heat in the earth's inner core come from?
Friction from gravitational forces.
What can energy be changed from?
Chemical, Gravitational Potential, Kinetic, Heat, Sound etc
Where does heat contained in earth's inner core come from?
Friction from gravitational forces.
Where does heat contained in the earth's inner core come from?

Does Uranus continues to generate internal heat through gravitational contraction?
False
How was Earth's original inner heat created?
Mainly the heat is caused by radioactive decay, but there will be a small contribution due to gravitational pressure.
What transformation of energy occurs when an oscillating spring is stretching to return to equilibrium?
heat to gravitational
Artificial sources of heat?
the sun gravitational compression of the still not fully compacted Earth (gravitational potential energy is converted to heat during compaction) radioactive decay comet and meteor strikes cosmic rays and neutrinos from extra-solar sources
What natural sources of heat?
the sun gravitational compression of the still not fully compacted Earth (gravitational potential energy is converted to heat during compaction) radioactive decay comet and meteor strikes cosmic rays and neutrinos from extra-solar sources
What characteristic of a star is determined by its distance from the observer?
It's apparent size, heat, and gravitational force.
What is the source of this residual heat?
Study Island Answer: gravitational energy left over from the formation of the Earth
