Best Answer

One instance, when a particle is accelerated with sufficient kinetic energy, that energy can change into mass in the form of subatomic particles.

Which form of energy is converted to kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)


Which principle is used in conversion of atomic energy into electric energy?

The principle of mass conversion to energy. The mass loss (due to nuclear fission or nuclear fusion) is converted to thermal energy. The thermal energy is converted (through turbines) to mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is converted (through electric generators) to electrical energy.


How can energy be conserved from a nuclear weapon?

A tiny bit of the mass of each fissioned (or fused) atom is converted to energy. Energy is not conserver... Mass-Energy is conserved.


Atomic energy converted to mass?

E= M * C squared


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 converted into mass?

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.

What did Einstein propose about stars?

its not about stars its about mass and he proposed that mass can be converted into energy


How can be energy converted into mass?

One way uses particle colliders. Some of the energy of high velocity subatomic particles in the collisions creates new particles.


In a nuclear reaction WHAT does not have to be conserved?

While overall ENERGY has to be conserved, MASS does not. In a nuclear reaction mass can be converted into energy so the mass of the products may be less than the mass of the reactants. The difference in mass is converted into energy as Einstein's equation describes (E=MC squared). In a chemical reaction MASS has to be conserved.


What do atoms convert mass in to?

The mass can be converted in energy: the equation of Einstein is: E= mc2.


Electromagnetic rays are pure energy?

EM radiation carries energy without a mass-carrying medium. In that sense, they are energy in pure form. However, considering Einstein's mass-energy equivalency (E=mc2), EM energy can, in rare circumstances, be converted to mass at a rate of 300,000,000 Joules/kilogram, and mass converted to energy at the same rate.
