Question

Differentiate between the following.
1. Kinetic energy and potential energy
2. Light energy and heat energy
3. Chemical energy and nuclear energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. KE is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of it being in motion. PE is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position. ... Potential Energy is based on mass, gravity, and height.

2. Heat and light are different but they are both forms of energy. Heat is a form of kinetic energy contained in the random motion of the particles of a material. Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. As with other forms of energy, heat energy can be transformed into light energy and vice versa.

3. Nuclear energy is not related to the formation of chemical bonds (which are due to the interactions of electrons). Nuclear energy is the energy that can be converted to other forms when there is a change in the nucleus of an atom. The nuclear change can be one of three basic processes: Splitting of the nucleus.
