Question

When many atoms are split in a chain reaction, a large explosion occurs. This is an example of what type of energy conversion?

nuclear to mechanical

thermal to nuclear

chemical to mechanical

nuclear to chemical

Answer 1

CHEMICAL ENERGY TO ATOMIC ENERGY TO THERMAL ENERGYVIA STEAMS IN HOT BOILERS TO TURBINES WHICH PRODUCE ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Answer 2

so your saying it is thermal to nuclear?

Answer 3

no you mean chemical to nuclear

Answer 4

right?

Answer 5

FIRST CHEMICAL REACTIONS TRIGGER NUCLEUR RECTIONS WHICH IN TURN HEAT THE WATERS BY HEAT AND STEAM EVOLVED TURNS THE TURBINE INTO ELECTRICITY

Answer 6

chemical to mechanical?

Answer 7

IF U CONSIDER ELECTRICAL AS MECHANICAL

Answer 8

When a Uranium nuclei 235 is split, a staggering amount of energy is released in the form of gamma rays. I suppose the gamma energy heat rapidly the surrounding space, and you can give a industrial use to this thermal energy.
If gamma ray is considered a chemical energy, the answer is: nuclear to chemical

Answer 9

ok thanks so much all of you

Answer 10

it was not the correct one @galanh, it is what i chose before

Answer 11

@TuringTest what would be the true?

Answer 12

@ash2326 can you tell me?

Answer 13

@Faman39 Let's first understand the energies
We have 4 in the options:
1) Chemical
2) Thermal
3) Mechanical
4) Nuclear

Answer 14

1) Chemical
Energy is required for two atoms/ molecules to combine to give other molecules and heat energy.
Chemical reaction can lead to cool down also.
Do you get my point ?

Answer 15

so it wont be chemical to mechanical, right?

Answer 16

Yeah :D

Answer 17

2) Thermal energy
when heat is released in a chemical reaction, we say that chemical energy is converted to thermal

Answer 18

When atoms are split, nuclear energy is involved. A large amount of heat is released, leading to an explosion.
So here we have
Nuclear->Thermal->Mechanical
So we have to go with which option ?

Answer 19

I was abt to say nuclear to thermal, actually i was confuse between both from earlier

Answer 20

I believe first one

Answer 21

Thermal is intermediate energy
finally it's the mechanical energy
Yay, you are right :D

Answer 22

thank you soooooooooo much @ash2326 :) your really great and you know everything and i have no doubt in that

Answer 23

@TuringTest thank you so much come for help! thanks alot :)

Answer 24

I appreciate all of you :)

Answer 25

lol what did I do ?

Answer 26

Well, just for coming here for help :) and thank sooooo much @ash2326 for helping!!! :)
