How is gravitational potential energy created?

It is created when a body of unit mass is brought from infinity to that point without acceleration.


What would your world be without energy?

Mass=energy so a world without energy is a world without mass. If you don't have energy you don't have a world.


Why can't matter be creAted from energy?

In any reaction, or process, both the amount of mass and the amount of energy remain constant. You might say that mass has energy, and energy has mass. Any mass or energy "created" during a reaction was already present previously.


This law states that energy or mass cannot be created or destroyed?

law of conservation of energy and mass


Proton-proton chain releases energy because mass is created in the process?

No mass is created or destroyed. The energy created in the process has a certain mass; this is exactly the mass that is missing in the helium nucleus (as compared to the hydrogen nuclei).


Can mass be created?

Well, according to E=MC2 Mass is the same as energy divided by the speed of light squared. But currently no, mass cannot be created.


Why can't charge be created or destroyed?

Just as the laws of conservation of matter, mass, and energy state that matter, mass, and energy cannot be created nor destroyed (in the long-term), so too do we say that particle characteristics (which derive from matter/mass/energy) such as charge cannot be created nor destroyed.


What makes energy without energy?

There is nothing like that. energy cannot be created


Sources of gravitational energy?

Gravity is created by the mass of objects


Which laws states that mass cannot be created or destroyed?

Conservation of mass... but this has been slightly revised since. Now it is the conservation of energy. Mass can be converted to energy. In some chemical reactions in the early 20th century scientists observed that the mass of the reactants did not equal the mass of the products. This was ultimately resolved with Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula, E = mc^2, where Eistein postulated that some rest mass was converted to energy. From this, we know that energy cannot be created or destroyed.


Can energy be created and sometimes destroyed?

No. The laws of conservation of energy dictate that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Mass and energy are equivalent, so energy can only change forms.


Matter that is indivisible cannot be?

The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed. This is not strictly correct, as mass and energy can be inter-converted, as in nuclear reactions. Thus, 'mass and energy cannot be created or destroyed' is more accurate.
