Radiant energy is a form of?
It is emitted in waves.
The energy an object has because it is moving?
Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion. The energy depends on the speed and mass of the object.
Is the suns energy kinetic radiant or potential?
The Sun's energy would be considered radiant.Potential energy is energy stored in a system of forcefully interacting physical entities.The kinetic energy of an object is the energy which it possesses due to its motion.
What is the power of certain forces of nature to do work?
YES, wind can produce WORK via controlled transfers of energy. First, an initial energy source is needed to produce this effect. Historical experimentation shows the most common source of energy would be radiant energy. Both the sun and the earth can provide the initial radiant energy. Provided we have a radiant energy source, we can focus on how to control the transfer from radiant energy (heat) to kinetic energy (wind). First we must look at the source of wind energy. The direct source is pressure differentials. On earth, this pressure differential is caused by radiant energy. The radiant energy that created the pressure differential will transfer to kinetic energy. In this case, the kinetic energy is measured in wind velocity. Transfer of Radiant to Kinetic energy can be accomplished by: (1) Create a pressure differential with the initial energy source (radiant) (2) Contain this pressure differential (radiant) (2a) Control the direction of the energy transfer (radiant to kinetic) (2b) Control the speed of the energy transfer (radiant to kinetic) (3) Utilize a mechanical device to transfer the kinetic energy to the desired output (assuming WORK = electrical energy output) Answer is Yes considering WORK = DC/AC (electricity) To complicate the above, all one has to do is (1) introduce lighter-than-air elements, and the control of thereof. (2) view the intensity of energy output via wavelengths (3) explore the energy output of wavelengths (frequency). NOTE: The one thing that seems to go unexplained or bypassed in most scientific questions is GRAVITY. Think about it like this.....if the earth's geomagnetic field can direct solar wind (750 km/s) and the sun's magnetic field (Heliosphere) can direct galactic wind (unknown km/s) think about the benefits of transferring solar/galactic wind to WORK :)
Is wind a form of radiant energy?
No. Because wind consists of moving molecules of gas (matter), the energy involved is kinetic. However, wind ultimately has its source in the effects of radiant energy from the sun on the earth's surface and atmosphere..
Is light energy an kinetic energy?
Light energy is radiant energy.
Radiant energy is a form of?
It is emitted in waves.
Is kinetic energy similar to radiant energy?
They are different types of energy.
Is the light produced by fluorescent lights potential kinetic or radiant energy?
It is Radiant.
What causes the emission of radiant energy?
What causes the emission of radiant energy?Well radiant energy's definition is the movement of photons. So in conclusion i would say kinetic energy cause radiant energy.
Radiant energy is a form of what?
kenetic energy only
Why is radiant energy kenetic energy?
The "kinetic" energy is related to the movement of the photons.
Is light kinetic or potential?
good answer but its none of them light energy is radiant energy

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion. The energy depends on the speed and mass of the object.

What are the sources of heat on earth?
Radiant energy from the sun, kinetic energy and heat from the decay of radioactive material in the Earth's interior.
