What are some examples of matter that can be converted into energy?

There is no such thing as matter-to-energy conversion. It is commonly said, in popular science, that in a nuclear reaction "matter is converted to energy"; actually, both mass and energy are conserved - if you consider all masses involved, the amount of mass before the reaction is the same as after the reaction; the same applies to energy. Search the Wikipedia on "mass deficit", for a more detailed explanation.

Actions in one part of the country or world that have an economic impact on what happens elsewhere are examples of?
Actions in one part of the world that have an economic impact on what happens elsewhere are examples of economic interdependence. Some examples of economic interdependence are food, energy, minerals, goods and foreign debt.
What were examples of concentration camps?
what are some examples of concentration camps?
Can you give some examples of polish words?
You will find some examples in the Wikipedia article on "Polish language".
What are some examples of civil disobedience?
Some examples would be Gandhi in 1930 on his long march to the British sea.
What are some potential energy?
Basically, potential energy is stored energy that is waiting to be converted into kinetic energy by have a force applied to the object. When an object has potential energy, it is not moving. So, two examples are: A rock sitting atop a hill or a cheetah about to spring at it's prey. 1. A rock is displaying potential energy because it is not moving. 2. The cheetah is storing energy, meaning that is waiting for the right moment to attack. Stored energy as in meaning that it is not using the energy that it has.Potential energy comes in two forms, spring potential energy, and gravitational potential energy. Spring potential energy comes from any elastic material that has the tendency to return to its original form, such as a bow string. An arrow drawn back on a bow would have potential energy because the bow string "wants" to return to its original state. Gravitational potential energy comes from being above the ground, such as a held basketball. Because it has the tendency to fall towards Earth, raising it up increases its potential energy.
What are some examples of Solar Energy?
solar energy warming the earthsolar energy captured by PV panels and converted into electricity.
What is the grand total of energy in a matter?
In theory, according to the Theory of Relativity, matter has an equivalent energy, that can be calculated as E = mc2. That is, a kg. of matter has an energy equivalent of 9x1016 joules. This doesn't mean that all that energy can actually be converted, but in some cases it can - for example, when matter collides with antimatter, it all gets converted to energy.
Can something change from being matter to not being matter?
Yes. In nuclear processes like fusion and fission, some matter is converted into energy.
During nuclear fusion energy is released because some matter is actually converted to?
Photons, but energy would be a more common answer.
How is a vulture consuming the remains of a dead raccoon on the side of a highway is helping an ecosystem?
After the vulture eats the dead raccoon it gets energy from it. When the vulture dies, some of the energy is converted into the organisms that eat dead matter. The energy is then circulated through the ecosystem.
What are some examples of a chemical change in matter?
Examples of chemical changes of matter include, but are not limited to: color change, formation of a precipitate, formation of a gas, change in energy.
How do you make energy?
There are many ways to make energy, some examples are water power, wind power, and machine power. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can not make energy, energy can only be converted form one form to another.
What are some examples of Thermal energy to electrical energy?
Thermal energy is regularly converted to electrical energy in power plants, as well as generators. Note that if some fuel (often fossil fuel) is used, the thermal energy is only an intermediate stage.
Some of the sun's is converted into wind and water waves-?
Some of the sun's energy is converted into wind and water waves. Most of the sun's energy are absorbed by the primary producers.
Can one form of energy be converted to another?
Yes, it can be converted into another kind of Energy. Example: The chemical energy of petroleum is converted to mechanical energy in a car engine with some loss as heat and sound energy. The mechanical energy is converted to kinetic energy.
What are some good examples of energy conversions?
When you turn on a light bulb, electric energy is converted into light and heat. The energy stored in food fuels the body heat and the body's chemical processes.
When one form of energy is converted to another some of the original energy is always converted into which type of energy?
Heat (thermal)
