As usual these get inter-twined. Nuclear energy originates from the nucleus, when U235 fissions or splits, energy is released because the resulting products have lost mass, and energy = mass x c2. This energy appears as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, and to a smaller extent as a gamma ray. The fission fragments recoil and their kinetic energy is lost and appears as thermal energy in the uranium fuel. The gamma is also absorbed in the reactor.
So it is basically a potential energy, but you can regard all mass as a potential energy through E = mc2.
What else can I help you with?
What is the relationship between magnetic energy and the potential or kinetic forms of energy?
Magnetic energy is a type of potential energy that can be converted into kinetic energy when objects with magnetic properties interact. This relationship allows for the transfer of energy between different forms within a system.
What type of energy is both kinetic and potential?
Mechanical energy is a type of energy that is both kinetic (energy of motion) and potential (stored energy). It includes the sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy as it moves or is positioned in a force field.
What type of energy can be converted to kinetic energy when it is used to do work?
Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy when it is used to do work.
As a ball falls what type of energy decreases and what type of energy increases?
As a ball falls, its potential energy decreases as it converts to kinetic energy. As it moves closer to the ground, its kinetic energy increases at the expense of potential energy.
Type of energy that is greatest at the bottom of a swings's path?
The greatest type of energy at the bottom of a swing's path is kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. The potential energy at the top of the swing is converted to kinetic energy as the swing reaches the bottom of its arc.
What is the relationship between magnetic energy and the potential or kinetic forms of energy?
Magnetic energy is a type of potential energy that can be converted into kinetic energy when objects with magnetic properties interact. This relationship allows for the transfer of energy between different forms within a system.
What type of energy causes electrons to jump?
Electrical energy ; ) and potential, kinetic, magnetic, or heat energies
Is Motion energy a type of kinetic or potential energy?
kinetic
What is the distance between kinetic and potential energy?
Kinetic and potential energy are a type of energy, not a measurement of distance.
What type of energy is light kinetic or potential?
Kinetic
What type of energy is both kinetic and potential?
Mechanical energy is a type of energy that is both kinetic (energy of motion) and potential (stored energy). It includes the sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy as it moves or is positioned in a force field.
What happens to potential energy that is not converted to kinetic energy?
If potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy (or into any other type of energy) then it remains potential. Potential energy does not expire.
Which type of energy is total kinetic and potential energy particles in an object?
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy.
What type of energy is kinetic and potential?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, possessed by an object in motion. Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy.
Is gravity kinetic energy?
There is no "gravity kinetic energy". There is gravitational energy (a type of potential energy), and - separately - there is kinetic energy (the energy of movement).
How many type of energy?
In one sense, energy is energy, it can neither be created nor destroyed. Energy exists as Heat, Light, Potential (stored), Kinetic (movement) or Chemical. Kinetic energy is the energy of a mocing object. Heat is really another form of Kinetic energy as it is really the amount of movement of atoms ina given substance. LIght is electromagnetic radiation. Potential energy is the energy stored in, say, an object at the top of a mountain, Chemical energy is energy that will be released during a chemical reaction (until then it is stored in the chemicals),Another type of energy is mechanical energy. An example is your hand moving across the paper.
What type of energy is gasoline?
Gasoline is potential energy.
