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. Energy stored in an object due to its position is Potential Energy. Energy that a moving object has due to its motion is Kinetic Energy.

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

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.

Answer 2

Explanation:

KINETIC ENERGY : KE is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of it being in motion

POTENTIAL ENERGY: PE is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position.

LIGHT ENERGY : Light is a form of energy which our sense of sight can detect. It is made of electro-magnetic radiation and travels in a straight path

HEAT ENERGY: Heat energy, also called thermal energy, is the energy an object has because of the movement of its molecules, and heat can be transferred from one object to another object.

CHEMICAL ENERGY: Chemical energy is energy including atoms and molecules, contained in the bonds of chemical compounds

NUCLEAR ENERGY: the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.
