Can nuclear energy be used everywhere?
Yes. There are virtually no physical limitations to where nuclear power can be used. Nuclear reactors have already been used on land, air and sea... and submerged and in space. Not only we humans use nuclear energy, but it is the primary source of energy in natural processess in the world too. Life on earth depends on the sun's energy, which in part is produced by nuclear fusion in the heart of the star.
What are to bad things about solar energy?
very expensive and only available while the sun shine
What can provide a temperature rise of 40degrees Celsius?
The only way to increase temperature is to apply energy. e.g chemical energy in burning fuel, electrical energy by turning on an electric fire, friction energy by rubbing things together etc.
What is the nuclear force of attraction?
The strong nuclear force, also called binding energy, holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons. Residual binding energy, also called the nuclear force, holds protons and neutrons together to form the nucleus of an atom. This holds true up to about atomic number 83 (bismuth), at which point the electromagnetic force, a repulsive force for protons, starts to overcome the distance barrier of binding energy and make the nucleus unstable. This makes the atoms starting at bismuth and above be radioactive. Additionally, the presence or absence of extra neutrons, i.e. isotopes, even in light nuclides, can, due to the weak interaction, makes the nucleus be unstable, and radioactive.
Give two reason why Nuclear energy is a good way of generating electricity?
For the same amount of conventional fuel such as coal or oil, nuclear fuel releases far more energy, as nuclear power is generated through the splitting of a nucleus rather than by chemical means. Also, no greenhouse gases are produced during a nuclear reaction, meaning nuclear power's contributions towards global warming are negligible, only requiring emissions in transport of materials and other miscellanea.
Do cars have nuclear energy?
No, so far only some ships have nuclear energy.
How does nuclear energy help with robots?
No, nuclear energy is only used to make electricity
How much nuclear energy does Australia use?
In Australia they use no nuclear energy. They only have on reactor which is only used for medical purposes.
What is the only thing that a nuclear reactor can do?
Produce heat (energy) from nuclear fission.
In how many ways can the energy of uranium be used?
Only in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
Is a battery nuclear chemical or mechanical energy?
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.
What is the estimated amount of nuclear energy in a telephone book?
Nuclear energy can only be obtained by fission or fusion and paper won't do either.
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.
Nuclear fusion only releases energy when elements that are lighter than what element are involved?
Nuclear Fusion only releases energy when elements that are higher than what Nuclear Fusion produces certain sotopes of lighter elements.
Does 68 percent of eletrical energy in the united States produced by nuclear fuel?
No. Only about 20% of the nations energy comes from nuclear fission.
Does a microwave produce nuclear energy?
energy cannot be produced or destroyed, only transformed.
How is the sun linked to nuclear energy?
The sun, like all stars, gets its energy from nuclear fusion. The Earth is only habitable for life because of the sun's radiant energy which reaches us. So we all depend on nuclear energy.
