Match each term to an appropriate example. (4 points) Column A 1. Gravitational energy : Gravitational energy 2. Nuclear energy : Nuclear energy 3. Radiant energy : Radiant energy 4. Stored mechanical energy : Stored mechanical energy Column B a. Fission and fusion b. A ball at the top of a hill c. A compressed spring d. X-rays and light

Explanation:

Before proceeding to answering the questions, let's try and understand each term.

Gravitational energy can be defined as the potential energy an object has when placed in a high position (compared to been placed in a low position). Examples include; a knife been placed at the top of the cupboard, a ball at the top of a hill.

Nuclear energy can be defined as the energy released or consumed as a result of splitting or joining together of the nuclei (plural of nucleus) of atom(s). The process of splitting an atomic nucleus is called nuclear fission while the process of joining two nuclei of atoms is called nuclear fusion.

Radiant energy can be defined as the energy of electromagnetic wave. One of the properties of electromagnetic waves is that they travel through space. Examples include X-rays and light

Stored mechanical energy can be defined as the potential energy an object has as a result of the application of force. Examples include; a stretched rubber band, a compressed spring
