What is Einsteins famous equation E equals mc2 what does it calculate?
It relates the energy of a particle to it's mass. So, if you were to convert 1kg of material into pure energy, the energy you would get out would be calculated using E = mc2.However, this is just the simplified version for a particle that isn't moving. If the particle is moving with a momentum p, then the full formula is used: E2 = p2c2 + m2c4.
How does heat travel by conduction?
Heat, on a molecular or atomic level, is kinetic energy; fast moving particles are literally hotter. So, if a fast moving particle collides with a slower particle, there will be an exchange of energy. We know from basic physics that force equals mass times acceleration, so when a force is applied to a particle, that particle will accelerate. That is how heat is transferred particle by particle. All of this happens on such a small, sub-microscopic scale, that we do not see the mechanics of it, we just see heat being conducted.
What subatomic particle is the atomic number equal to?
The number of protons equals the number of electrons.
15milileters equals how many milligrams?
You can't.Mililiters is a volume measurement and milligrams is a mass measurement
What is 1ml equals to a cm?
You can not equate a measurement of volume (the ml) with a measurement of length (the cm).
Is a gallon equals to 100 cm?
No. - A gallon is a measurement of volume. - Centimetres are a measurement of length.
Half a quart equals what measurement?
Pint
What is a watt of energy?
The watt is a unit of measurement as related to electrical energy. eg: one (1) kilowatt hour equals 3,412 BTUs.Another AnswerEnergy is not measured in watts, but in joules. A watt is used to measure power.
8 cups fruit equals how many kilograms?
kilograms are a weight measurement cups are a measurement of volume.
What are virtual particle pairs?
As I understand it, one has to look at Heisenbergs principle of uncertainty in which he states that 'The more precisely the position of a particle is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known'. Apparantly this concept of uncertainty can be applied to the amount of energy that can be contained in a vacuum. The energy in this vacuum is always constant but due to the uncertainty principle there will always be some uncertainty which will provide access for a 'nonzero energy' to enter that vacuum, and temporarily remain there. Because energy equals matter and the reverse, the uncertainty fluctuations are able to produce 'particle pairs' a particle and anti-particle. Because they cannot be directly measured they are called 'virtual particles'. Professor Hawkings has theorised that if black holes do emit any form of thermal radiation, it might be due to the existence of these particles separating at the event horizon.
How many teaspoon equals 4 inch?
Since teaspoons are a measurement for volume and inch a measurement for length, they can not equal.
40 acres equals how much kilometers?
Acres are a measurement of area, kilometres are a measurement of length, the two can not be compared.
