Does Gamma ray primarily consist of pure energy and no mass?
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is a type energy. Because a gamma ray is a type of energy, it has no mass.
What type of transport needs energy?
Active transport needs energy, passive transport does not need energy.
What type of society has the greatest energy needs?
The type of society that has the greatest energy needs is the industrialized society, like the European nations.
This type of energy is related to the mass and speed of an object?
What energy is related to the mass and speed of an object
What type of energy increases with its height?
gravitational potential energy
What energy is based on an object's position called?
On the mass and velocity also it depends on the mass and quickness. That is the type of energy that it depends on.
Which type of energy makes us of the sun's rays?
Nuclear Fusion energy - the conversion of mass into energy.
How is flowing water mechanical energy?
Anything that moves (and has a mass) has kinetic energy, which is a type of mechanical energy.
What type of energy is possessed by raindrops when they just falls on the ground?
Kinetic energy- the energy of a moving mass.
Is radiant a type of energy?
Everything we do involves a transfer of energy. Everything. You see, energy is mass, and mass is energy. Einstein's famous mass-energy equivalence equation e = mc2 makes that clear. Some people misunderstand that, however, in that they think it means that energy can be converted into mass, and that mass can be converted into energy. What is actually true is that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, nor can mass be created nor destroyed - they can only be moved from one frame of reference to another. Energy and mass are one and the same. Now, I know I answered much more than the original question asked. The correct answer is yes, radiant is a type of energy, however, the more correct answer is that everything is a type of energy, and that's the point I wanted to make.
How is mass converted into energy in nuclar fusion?
It isn't. This is a popular statement, but it is complete incorrect. Both mass and energy are conserved. Energy: The energy was already available previously, but in another form (nuclear energy, which is a type of potential energy). Mass: The heat or light that is produced is energy; it has an associated mass. For example, the photons (light) that leave the Sun not only take energy, but also mass, away from the Sun. This mass is exactly equal to the "missing" mass.
What type of energy is energy of motion which depends on the mass and velocity of an object?
Kinetic energy. Specifically K.E. = ½mv² where K.E. is kinetic energy m is mass v is velocity
