What star is densest?
The densest stars are neutron stars; these are "dead stars", in the sense that they ran out of fuel and no longer convert energy. However, they still have a large amount of energy left over from the collapse, which they gradually emit.
Is fusion or fission the main energy source for stars?
Fusion is the main energy source for stars. It is the process by which stars convert hydrogen into helium through nuclear reactions, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. Fission, on the other hand, involves the splitting of atomic nuclei and is not the primary energy source for stars.
What does E equals mc2 mean in terms of the Sun and stars?
E=mc^2 describes the relationship between energy (E), mass (m), and the speed of light (c). In the context of the Sun and stars, E=mc^2 is relevant because it explains how nuclear fusion reactions in their cores convert mass into energy, providing the heat and light they emit. This equation is fundamental to understanding the energy source that powers these celestial bodies.
What process does stars convert mass in to great amounts of energy?
gravitational pull
Can you convert energy into mass?
No. Mass and kinetic energy are not the same thing.
What did Einstein propose about stars?
its not about stars its about mass and he proposed that mass can be converted into energy
How do you convert Mass into thermal energy?
You generally need a catalyst or a mechanism to convert the energy. For example to convert fuel (a mass) into thermal energy, oxidizer and a spark are needed.
How fast is the sun making nuclear fusions?
Fast enough to convert 4 million tons of mass to energy, every second.Fast enough to convert 4 million tons of mass to energy, every second.Fast enough to convert 4 million tons of mass to energy, every second.Fast enough to convert 4 million tons of mass to energy, every second.
How do you convert energy transferred per gram into energy transferred per mole?
To convert energy transferred per gram to energy transferred per mole, you need to first calculate the molar mass of the substance in grams per mole. Then, you can use this molar mass to convert the energy transferred per gram to energy transferred per mole by multiplying or dividing accordingly.
What do atoms convert mass in to?
The mass can be converted in energy: the equation of Einstein is: E= mc2.
Which device transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy and why a. generator b. motor c. transformer mass spectrometer d. d. mass spectrometer?
generators which convert mechanical energy to electrical energy and motors which convert electrical energy to mechanical energy
How does the CNO cycle differ from the proton-proton chain?
The CNO cycle uses carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen as catalysts to convert hydrogen into helium, while the proton-proton chain fuses hydrogen into helium directly. The CNO cycle is more efficient in high-mass stars while the proton-proton chain dominates in lower-mass stars like the Sun.
How does the law of conservation not apply to the energy of stars?
conservation laws do apply to stars, as mass/energy is conserved by the formula E(energy) = M(mass) x C squared (speed of light), this happens as a nuclear fusion reaction when the hydrogen molecules in the stars and fused to make Helium, some mass is lost (converted to energy). cheers
Why can't a star last forever?
Because they convert their materials into energy and energy = mass.
How many kilowatts in a 100 grams of mass energy?
To convert mass energy to kilowatts, you need to first convert mass into energy using the equation E=mc^2, where c is the speed of light. Then, convert the energy into kilowatts by dividing by the desired time interval. A 100 grams of mass energy would correspond to a very large amount of kilowatts due to the speed of light being squared in the equation.
