Is Atom can't be destroy?
Atoms can be split to create nuclear energy, but can not be destroyed using the technology we currently posses and possibly not ever.
Can you ever stop using energy?
No, you can never stop using energy. Even in death, energy is used for decomposition.
Is hydrogen ever created in nature by nuclear fission?
Yes In high temperature gas cooled nuclear fission reactors using the nuclear process heat.
How do you convert nuclear energy into chemical energy?
I don't know of any way to do this. Nuclear energy simply provides heat, so could conceivably be used to drive chemical reactions, but I don't think this has ever been done.
Is solar energy safer then nuclear energy?
Solar energy is certainly safer than nuclear energy, but decidedly more expensive with much greater space requirements...at this time. As solar and other alternative energy sources are developed, it is reasonable to assume that the costs will decrease. Whether or not they will ever decrease to the costs per kilowatt hour that nuclear energy can achieve remains to be seen.
Will electricity last for ever?
As far as energy resources required to produce electrical energy are available such as oil,nuclear energy,water energy, wind energy ...etc , electrical energy production can be maintened.
How does the energy released by an earthquake compare to the energy of a nuclear weapon?
* Earthquake Richter 5.0 = 32 kilotons nuclear weapon, like was used at Nagasaki * Earthquake Richter 6.0 = 1 megaton nuclear weapon * Earthquake Richter 7.0 = 32 megaton nuclear weapon * Earthquake Richter 7.1 = 50 megaton nuclear weapon, Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever tested * Earthquake Richter 8.0 = 1 gigaton nuclear weapon, much larger than anything ever made
Was Hong Kong ever Singapore's capitol?
No, Hong Kong is not even in Singapore.
Does nuclear energy take place at high temperatures?
Your question expresses a significant bit of conceptual confusion. Perhaps I can clear up some of this confusion and at the same time answer your question.What we call temperature is simply the manifestation of kinetic energy at the level of the atom (i.e. slow moving atoms = low temperature, fast moving atoms = high temperature). What we call nuclear energy is simply an excess in the nuclear binding energy, which is the energy binding the protons and neutrons together inside the nucleus and is a manifestation of the strong nuclear force and to a lesser extent the weak nuclear force. This movement of atoms has no affect at all on whether there is or is not excess nuclear energy inside atomic nuclei or if that excess nuclear energy is being released or even can be released. Those nuclei having the least nuclear binding energy are the nuclei of the elements from iron through lead, both the elements lighter than iron and the elements heavier than lead have more nuclear binding energy (which can be considered to be excess nuclear binding energy that could potentially be released).There are three processes that can release excess nuclear energy: radioactive decay, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion. All of these processes transform nuclear energy to kinetic energy at the level of the atom (i.e. temperature aka heat), and thereby convert a small amount of the mass of the atom into energy. Of these three both radioactive decay and nuclear fission can take place at any temperature, even those so cold as to approach absolute zero. Neither radioactive decay nor nuclear fission takes place any faster or slower with a change in temperature. Nuclear fusion though can only take place at very high temperatures (and pressures) as the nuclei must be very close together and moving fast enough to be able to collide and fuse, despite the strong electrostatic repulsion due to both nuclei involved being positively charged. But this is a threshold temperature, even at high temperatures just below the threshold no nuclear fusion can take place at all and once above the threshold and nuclear fusion begins, raising the temperature further has very little affect on the rate at which that nuclear fusion takes place.Nuclear reactors operate using the process of nuclear fission and generate heat by both nuclear fission and radioactive decay. We are not yet able to extract nuclear energy in a controlled manner using the process of nuclear fusion (only explosive release of nuclear energy has ever been successfully done using the process of nuclear fusion).
What are examples in life that you do ever day with Mechanical Energy?
using a car
Was Singapore ever part of China?
No
What do geothermal nuclear wind and water power have in common as sources of electricity?
They are all renewable sources of energy. This means that they can be used for ever.
