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.
How many grams of antimatter are needed to react with 5 g of matter?
Exactly 5 grams of antimatter will completely annihilate 5 grams of matter, producing an enormous shower of high energy gamma rays. In total a mass of 10 grams will be converted to the equivalent amount of energy.
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.
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.
What happens if you touch antimatter?
If you were to touch antimatter, it would result in a violent and explosive reaction, releasing a large amount of energy. This is because when antimatter comes into contact with regular matter, they annihilate each other, converting their mass into energy.
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.
How could it B true that matter and antimatter at start of big bang With little amount of matter left in end winning B enough 2 make up all we see today?
It is not currently known why there is more matter than antimatter. Some assymetries (differences between matter and antimatter) have been found, but they are very slight, and it is not clear how this could have been enough to create the matter we see today.
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 is the meaning of annhilated in The only way for ALL this energy to be released is for the kilogram of water to be totally annhilated?
That means that it disappears as normal matter and is converted into "pure energy". Note that this is not possible for normal matter, unless it meets an equal amount of antimatter.
How many grams of antimatter are needed to react with 5 g of matter?
Exactly 5 grams of antimatter will completely annihilate 5 grams of matter, producing an enormous shower of high energy gamma rays. In total a mass of 10 grams will be converted to the equivalent amount of energy.
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.
Why is there far more matter than antimatter in the visible universe?
It may have to do with the way the universe was created. Certainly if there was a lot of antimatter created, much of it may well have come in contact with matter through the billions of years the universe has existed. That would have resulted in the conversion of that antimatter (along with a like amount of matter) into energy. There may not have been much antimatter around to begin with, too. But, since the amount of visible matter represents less matter than has been calculated to exist in the uinverse, it may be that there is a good bit of antimatter out there somewhere. Not likely, but possible.
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.
What are two questions physicists have regarding antimatter?
1. Why is there more matter than antimatter in the Universe? Or: Why is there matter at all? (If there were the same amount of matter and antimatter, and it came into contact, it would quickly get destroyed. 2. If antimatter is so abundant, how come we've never come in contact with it or have been able to observe it?
What is a simple explanation for antimatter?
Antimatter is a type of matter that has the opposite properties of normal matter. When a particle of matter meets its corresponding antiparticle, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. Antimatter is rare in the universe and is mostly created in high-energy environments like particle accelerators.
How come the universe is made of matter and not antimatter?
That is not currently known. There is a slight assymetry between matter and antimatter, but so far, it seems that this assymetry is not enough to explain why there is only matter, and hardly any antimatter, in the Universe. Without such an assymetry, there wouldn't be either matter or antimatter in the Universe - just radiation. For more information about what is known, and what isn't, check the Wikipedia article on "Baryon asymmetry".
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.
