Is fission nuclear energy chemical energy or mechanical energy?

Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.


How can mechanical energy be turned into nuclear energy?

This is not possible, nuclear energy arises because of nuclear reactions which are not influenced by mechanical application to a material.


Is fusion mechanical chemical or nuclear energy?

it's a nuclear thats what it is its a nuclear


How can nuclear energy be change into mechanical energy?

The heat energy produced by nuclear fission heats water ; passing by it; and brings it to steam that turns turbines to be converted to mechanical energy.


What is the difference between mechanical energy and nuclear energy?

Mechanical energy is energy generated through motion, while nuclear energy is generated through either fusion (the combining of atoms), or fission (the breakdown of atoms). stars generate fusion, and nuclear power plants, use uranium for fission.


Is a battery chemical mechanical or nuclear?

A battery is chemical energy creating electrical energy. Nuclear is cause by nuclear material either decaying or undergoing fusion, only present in nuclear material. Mechanical energy is a physical force cause by the transfer of kinetic energy.


A machine that will convert mechanical, nuclear, or chemical energy into electrical energy?

How does the energy involved in nuclear processes compare to that of chemical interactions and mechanical processes?

Nuclear energy vastly overshadows the energy from chemical and mechanical energy, because nuclear energy is based on the release of binding energy, which lies at the core of everything. It is the Strong Atomic Force.

Name 5 forms of energy?

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Five forms of energy are nuclear, thermal, mechanical, chemical and gravitational.


What kind energy does nuclear energy produce?

The release of nuclear energy produces heat, which is used to transfer the energy to a mechanical system. The mechanical energy is converted in this system into electromagnetic energy, and so electrical power is available for the power grid.


What energy transformations occur nuclear power plant?

As atoms break and forming elements having more binding energy per nucleon heat energy is released. Hence nuclear energy gets changed into heat energy Right from heat energy mechanical energy is produced This mechanical energy in the presence of magnetic field gets changed into electrical energy. So nuclear ---> heat ---> mechanical ----> electrical
