What is the difference between forms and types of energy?

Forms of energy refer to the different ways energy can manifest, such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical energy. Types of energy, on the other hand, categorize energy based on its source or nature, such as mechanical, electrical, nuclear, and electromagnetic energy.


A limiting factor for using nuclear energy is the what it produces?

A limiting factor for using nuclear energy is the production of radioactive waste, which needs to be carefully managed and stored to prevent environmental contamination and health risks. Proper disposal of this waste remains a significant challenge for the industry.


What instrument is used to measre the mass of an object?

A scale or balance is used to measure the mass of an object. These instruments can provide an accurate measurement of an object's mass in units such as grams or kilograms.


What does a generator turn mechancal enegry or heat engry into?

A generator turns mechanical energy, such as from a turbine or engine, into electrical energy. It does this by electromagnetic induction, where moving a conductor (usually wire) through a magnetic field generates an electrical current in the wire.


What is thermal enegry produced by?

There are a number of principles associated with characterizing the phenomenon of thermal energy. They are generally though of being, and considered/evaluated under the heading of, heat transfer or thermodynamics. The most general answer is this: heat goes from where it's hot to where it's not. Obvious. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on heat and on thermodynamics. Use them. And no, you won't get tricked. Promise.
