Mechanical energy is energy generated through motion, while nuclear energy is generated through either fusion (the combining of atoms), or fission (the breakdown of atoms). stars generate fusion, and nuclear power plants, use uranium for fission.

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 is the difference between energy and light?

Light is one of many forms of energy. Heat, motion, sound, potential energy (which can be mechanical, chemical, or nuclear) and many other types of energy also exist.


How can mechanical energy be turned into nuclear energy?

This is not possible, nuclear energy arises because of nuclear reactions which are not influenced by mechanical application to a material.

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.


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.


What is the difference between physical and nuclear energy?

Physical energy is energy due to motion (kinetic energy) and/or energy due to position or configuration (potential energy). Nuclear energy is due to the destruction of mass.
