Mass is converted to energy according to the famous equation: E= mc^2 where E is energy measured in joules, m is mass in kilograms and c is the speed of light in meters per second which happens to be the constant 299,792,458.
The total mass and energy in the universe are considered constant according to the law of conservation of mass-energy. While mass can be converted to energy and vice versa, the total amount remains the same. This principle is a fundamental concept in physics.
Since mother earth is alive ,and we have a constant supply of energy from the sun. Is it not possible that energy is being converted to mass by the living. We know that mass is a constant, and we also know that energy is being trapped and released. Organic matter is energy ,so is the organic matter growing?What is the relation between organic energy and our stars.
Yes. In a way, energy and mass are closely related; energy HAS mass, mass HAS energy. Energy gets converted into mass routinely in particle accelerators. The kinetic energy from the moving particles gets converted into new particles.
The energy primarily involved in lifting a heavy mass is gravitational potential energy. When you lift the mass against the force of gravity, you are increasing its potential energy, which can later be converted into kinetic energy if the mass is dropped.
In a crash, the kinetic energy of a moving object is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat, sound, and deformation of the object involved in the crash. The amount of kinetic energy involved in the crash depends on the mass and velocity of the objects involved.
According to the law of conservation of mass-energy, matter and energy are always conserved in a closed system. This means that while matter and energy can change forms or be converted into one another, the total amount of matter and energy in the system remains constant.
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.
In the equation Emc2, the units of energy (E), mass (m), and the speed of light (c) are significant because they show the relationship between energy and mass, and how mass can be converted into energy. The speed of light is a constant that relates the two, showing that a small amount of mass can produce a large amount of energy.
During nuclear fission, mass is converted into energy.
Mass can be converted to energy in some very special cases, but no general method to convert any mass directly into energy is known.
In accordance with Einstein's theory of relativity (E=mc^2), atomic energy can be converted into mass. This means that when atoms undergo nuclear reactions, small amounts of mass are converted into energy. Conversely, energy can also be converted back into mass under certain conditions.
Sure, burn it.
