What is nuclear energy?

Back

Nuclear energy is the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom, released during nuclear reactions.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, dependent on its mass and speed.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state, such as height or tension.

What type of energy transformation occurs in photosynthesis?

Back

In photosynthesis, light energy is transformed into chemical energy.

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
