Generator:

• device that uses electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy

• device that generates energy.

• a device that changes the force or increases the motion from work.

• A force that opposes the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching each other.

What are 2 benefits of Nuclear Power?

• Limited power output and frequent shutdowns
• Do not release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

• They don't produce air pollutants.

• High carbon emissions and unreliable electricity generation
• They are an inconsistent power supply

What are 3 risks of Nuclear Power?

• They are expensive to build.

• They produce light energy into the earth.

• They don't produce carbon dioxide.

• They're buildings can take about 10 years or more to complete.

• They produce radioactive waste that can be harmful to living organisms and the environment.

Nuclear Waste is...

• waste that is left from nuclear bomb explosions.

• any radioactive material that results when radioactive materials are used.

• a force measured in newtons (N)

• waste that would be left from when you've just eaten dinner and turns radioactive..

Uses energy from controlled nuclear reactions to generate electricity. They have a cooling system to keep them from being damaged.

• Nuclear Reactors

A device that changes the force or increases the motion of work.

• Mediums

• Conductors

• Transceiver

• Machines

When force and motion are parallel, (moving in the same direction), work is equal to force multiplied by ________.
