Yes. Stars do this all the time in fusion reactions. When we cause fusion or fission, we can do that, too. In Einstein's famous E = mc2 equation, you'll note that energy (E) is equal to mass (m) times the square of the speed of light (c). Mass and energy are related. They are equal (with the square of the speed of light as a factor), and they can be changed from the one to the other. The only trick is how to make those conversions from mass to energy. It's a challenge, and it can be dangerous. A little bit of mass makes a whole lot of energy! A whole lot!
What else can I help you with?
Does wind turbins convert potentia lenergy kinetic energy or thermal energy into its original potential energy?
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy. They do not convert energy directly back into potential, kinetic, or thermal energy.
What is kinetic energy-?
Kinetic energy is energy that is posessed by a moving mass.
What 2 factors effect an object's of kenetic energy?
Kinetic energy is (1/2) x mass x velocity2.Kinetic energy is (1/2) x mass x velocity2.Kinetic energy is (1/2) x mass x velocity2.Kinetic energy is (1/2) x mass x velocity2.
When kinetic energy increases what happens to the mass and velocity?
Kinetic energy of a mass is directly proportional to two variables: its mass and speed. Many mistake kinetic energy as being proportional to mass and velocity; it is, in fact, mass and speed. (With all technicalities aside, the speed is the factor that matters in computing kinetic energy of an object or a mass). Kinetic Energy = 0.5mv2 (m = mass and v = speed of the mass) Therefore, if the speed of the object increases, the kinetic energy increases. If the speed of the object decreases, the kinetic energy decreases. Similarly, if the mass of the object increases while traveling, its kinetic energy increases. If the mass of the object decreases, the kinetic energy decreases. All has to do with the directly proportional relationship between the two variables and the kinetic energy.
How does increasing mass affect kinetic energy?
Increasing mass increases kinetic energy because kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass. This means that as mass increases, the kinetic energy of an object will also increase, assuming the velocity remains constant.
Can you convert energy into mass?
No. Mass and kinetic energy are not the same thing.
What kind of energy do windmills convert it is kinetic or potential?
The kinetic energy of the wind (moving mass of air) is (usually) converted into electric energy.
What is the kinetic energy when the skater starts down hill?
The kinetic energy of the skater when they start going downhill will depend on their mass, velocity, and the height of the hill. Kinetic energy is given by the formula KE = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2. As the skater begins going downhill, their potential energy will decrease and convert into kinetic energy.
What is the kinetic energy of 9000kg railroad car before the collision?
The kinetic energy depends both on the mass and the speed. Convert the speed to meters/second, then use the formula: KE = (1/2)mv2 (kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass times velocity squared).
What will affect kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is affected by an object's mass and its velocity. The kinetic energy of an object increases as its mass or velocity increases. Conversely, kinetic energy decreases as mass or velocity decreases.
What will happen to the kinetic energy for an object if its mass is double but the velocity remains at the same?
Kinetic Energy = (1/2)*(mass)*(velocity)2 If you double the mass, then the kinetic energy will double If you double the velocity, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of 4
What will be the effect on kinetic energy by dubbling the mass?
the defining equation for kinetic energy= 1/2 mv2therefore kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass or as kinetic energy increases, mass increases proportionally (and vice versa).therefore if mass is doubled, the kinetic energy is also doubled.
Does wind turbins convert potentia lenergy kinetic energy or thermal energy into its original potential energy?
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy. They do not convert energy directly back into potential, kinetic, or thermal energy.
What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?
The relationship between mass and kinetic energy is that kinetic energy increases with an increase in mass. This means that an object with more mass will have more kinetic energy when it is in motion compared to an object with less mass moving at the same speed.
What is kinetic energy-?
Kinetic energy is energy that is posessed by a moving mass.
If the mass is doubled the kinetic energy will .?
If the mass is doubled, the kinetic energy will also double, assuming the velocity remains constant. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of an object, so increasing the mass will result in a proportional increase in kinetic energy.
When you have kinetic energy you must have?
When you have kinetic energy, you must have a mass and a velocity since kinetic energy is half the product of the mass and the square of the velocity.
