When a subatomic particla is released it has kinetic energy what was the original form of this energy a Gravitational b Light c Nuclear d Sound?

b) Light - the original form of the energy could have been potential energy stored in an atom or molecule before being released as kinetic energy in the form of light when the subatomic particle moves.


How is energy stored in a cracker?

Energy is stored in a cracker in the form of chemical energy. The ingredients in the cracker, such as carbohydrates and fats, contain potential energy that is released when the cracker is broken down during digestion, providing our bodies with energy.


Why is nuclear energy efficient?

The energy we receive from the sun is nuclear in origin, and that is what caused the vegetation to grow that turned into fossil fuels. The sun's heat drives the weather and that produces wind for wind turbines and rain for hydro power and ocean waves for wave power. The uranium we use probably arose from supernovas that preceded the sun's formation, but we can now use the nuclear energy it contains. Biomass is obvously a product of the sun's heating effects. I can't think of anything else.


Advancements in nuclear science have led to new technology which have been beneficial to society Many of the advances are used in medicine what is not a medical use of nuclear energy?

One non-medical use of nuclear energy is power generation in nuclear power plants to produce electricity for homes and industries. Another example is the use of nuclear energy in research to study fundamental particles and phenomena in physics.


What is Frances main energy source?

France's main energy sources are nuclear power and renewable energy sources such as hydroelectric and wind power. Nuclear power accounts for the majority of the country's electricity production. France has been gradually transitioning to increase the share of renewable energy in its energy mix.

What happens to nuclear energy before it is used?

Nuclear energy is released as heat in the fuel of a nuclear reactor, but only when the reactor has been brought to criticality and the chain reaction started. At that point the heat must be used, it can't be stored and used later. Before criticality is established, the reactor is shutdown and producing no nuclear heat from fission, so you could regard it as having potential nuclear energy in that state


When wood burns heat energy is released where had this heat energy been stored?

The heat energy is not stored, its created by a chemical reaction.


Where has the us lost a nuclear bomb?

Offshore Palomares Spain was one, it was recovered later. There have been many "broken arrows" incidents.


Is nuclear energy the clenest form of energy?

Not quite. The problem of getting rid of the nuclear waste has not been satisfactorily solved.


Where and when has nuclear energy been used?

Nuclear weapon, nuclear (atomic) power stations. Also the Sun works on nuclear reactions.


How is energy stored in crackers?

energy is stored in a cracker by the chemical bonds that have been created in the making of the cracker. when the cracker is digested these bonds are broken and energy is released.

What is bad about nuclear energy?

Mainly that no good solution has been found to dispose of the nuclear wastes.


Where has most of the solar energy been stored?

plants & vegetation.


Should the UK go nuclear?

The UK has been nuclear for a very long time. It has lots of nuclear energy stations and lots of nuclear weapons.


How is chemical energy and nuclear energy considered potential energy?

Chemical energy is considered potential energy because it is stored in the chemical bonds of molecules, which can be released through chemical reactions. Nuclear energy is considered potential energy because it is stored in the nucleus of atoms and can be released through nuclear reactions. Both forms of energy have the potential to do work when converted into other forms of energy.


Where has Nuclear Energy been used with great success?

In France for example.
