If 1gram body of antimatter meets a 10gram body of matter which survives?
Initially the 9g of remaining matter would survive. Each particle of antimatter can only annihilate with one other particle of antimatter. At this point the 1g of antimatter would cause an explosion equivalent to that of 200000 pounds of TNT. Causing both groups of matter and antimatter to be obliterated.
Was the explosion out of antimatter?
Current physical theory tends to indicate there should be a symmetry expressed in the form of a parity between matter and antimatter created in the Big Bang, with no preference for matter over antimatter; this explosion should have created equal amounts of both, which would then annihilate each other. However, the universe tends to be dominated so far as we can tell by matter and no significant regions of antimatter have yet been detected. This would indicate an asymmetry or bias in favor of matter's creation, which is somewhat mysterious and remains a subject of research. In any case, this bias of matter over antimatter is believed to be extremely small - such that it may have been for every billion particles of antimatter created, there were a billion and one particles of matter.
How do you artificially create antimatter?
when energy travelling at the speed of light (its possible to reach that speed with a single particle) comes in contact with something, it can reach up to extreme temperatures and the energy can be converted into matter. when this happens, both matter and anti matter is born.. pairs so matter got created by energy smashing into stuff, like other energy or matter, basicly, there is the same amount of matter and antimatter because they are created in pairs.
Which element has negative charged proton?
All protons have a positive charge. The antimatter equivelant to the proton, the antiproton, has a negative charge. Every element of matter (hydrogen, helium, etc.) has an equivalent antimatter element (antihydrogen, antihelium, etc.) and just as every element of matter has a proton in its the nucleus (which, again, is positively charged), every corresponding anti-element has an anti-proton in its nucleus (which is negatively charged). There are also theoretical "hybrid" elements (called exotic elements of atoms) consisting of both matter an antimatter components, such as a proton and antiproton orbitting each other (this is called Protonium).
What could antimatter be used for?
In theory, antimatter could be used as an extremely concentrated form of fuel, to run power plants, to propel rockets, or anything else that requires fuel. However, it is extremely difficult to store, requiring special magnetic containment since any contact with matter causes a big explosion. Unless some efficient solution is found for the storage problem, I doubt that antimatter will ever be used for much other than research into subatomic physics.
What can you make out of antimatter?
Not much; as soon as the antimatter meets with normal matter, they annihilate (destroy) each other. That doesn't leave you much time to build anything; a few small atoms have been built, though.
What happens during a matter-antimatter reaction?
During a matter-antimatter reaction, particles of matter and antimatter collide and annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays and other particles.
What is matter with an unusual quality?
Antimatter is a type of matter with an unusual quality - it has properties that are opposite to those of normal matter. For example, when antimatter comes into contact with normal matter, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy. Antimatter is rare in the universe and is usually produced in high-energy processes like particle accelerators.
Why the antimatter disappear in universe?
When antimatter comes into contact with matter, they annihilate each other.
Can anti matter be used as a weapon?
In theory, it might. But consider the following practical considerations:1. Antimatter wouldn't really produce energy, only store it. You need energy to produce antimatter.2. Storing it for a prolonged period of time poses immense practical problems. If antimatter meets normal matter, they will mutually destroy each other. This means that normal containers can't be used to store antimatter.
What does antimatter look like and how does it differ from regular matter?
Antimatter is a type of matter that is the opposite of regular matter, with particles that have opposite charges. When antimatter comes into contact with regular matter, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays. Antimatter does not have a specific appearance, as it is not visible to the naked eye.
What is the end product of matter-antimatter annihilation?
The end product of matter-antimatter annihilation is energy in the form of photons (light particles) or other subatomic particles.
If 1gram body of antimatter meets a 10gram body of matter which survives?
Initially the 9g of remaining matter would survive. Each particle of antimatter can only annihilate with one other particle of antimatter. At this point the 1g of antimatter would cause an explosion equivalent to that of 200000 pounds of TNT. Causing both groups of matter and antimatter to be obliterated.
What happens when matter and antimatter collide?
When matter and antimatter collide, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays and other particles. This process is called annihilation.
Why is still antimatter in the universe if it was defeated by the matter in the big bang?
Our current understanding says that matter-antimatter pairs can be produced by a sufficiently strong energy field, and further says that this is happening all the time. Normally these particles quickly meet up and annihilate each other, but under certain conditions this might not happen, which would leave free antimatter particles running around.
What happens if antimatter touches matter?
When antimatter touches matter, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. This process is called annihilation.
If an astronaut landed on a planet made of antimatter there would be an explosion and what?
If an astronaut landed on a planet made of antimatter, upon contact with regular matter an annihilation reaction would occur, leading to a release of energy and resulting in a large explosion of gamma rays and other particles. This would be extremely destructive and dangerous for the astronaut.
