What types of energy are attributable to each of the four fundamental forces?

The four forces affecting matter are (in order of increasing strength): 1. Gravitational Force : hydraulic energy or water falls 2. Electromagnetic Force : electricity as secondary energy 3. Weak Nuclear Force: ionizing radiation4. Strong Nuclear Force: nuclear fissionWhenever there is a force, or more precisely a so-called "conservative force", there is an associated potential energy. Each of the fundamental forces have related potential energy; thus, there is gravitational, electrical & magnetical, and nuclear potential energy.I am not entirely sure about the weak force; but I assume it would be lumped together with the strong force, in the category of "nuclear energy".Chemical energy, as well as elastic energy, are also types of potential energy that are related to electrical forces.


When you roll down a hill is that mechanical energy?

Yes, when you roll down a hill, you are converting potential energy (due to your position on the hill) into kinetic energy (due to your motion). This conversion of energy falls under the category of mechanical energy.


Is fission nuclear energy chemical energy or mechanical energy?

Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.


What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?

The energy stored in an atom's nucleus is nuclear energy. This energy is released through processes like nuclear fusion or fission, which involve manipulating the nucleus of an atom to release large amounts of energy.


Is nuclear energy potential energy or kinetic energy?

Why do you call sun as a star?

To my knowledge, the stars have their own energy and they will be generally surrounded by some planets. So SUN falls in this category. It has its own source of energy.

What is the different energy source between the sun and the moon?

The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion occurring in the sun's core. The moon does not have an internal energy source. What little energy falls on it comes from the sun.
