Why are some objects heavier than others?
Objects are heavier than others due to differences in their mass and density. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while density is how compact that matter is. Objects with higher mass or higher density will be heavier than those with lower mass or lower density.
Are charged batteries heavier than uncharged batteries?
Yes, charged batteries are typically heavier than uncharged batteries due to the presence of stored energy in the charged batteries.
Why can the fusion of iron into heavier elements not support a star?
The fusion of iron into heavier elements cannot support a star because it requires more energy than it produces, leading to a loss of energy and the collapse of the star.
Why is energy not considered a state of matter?
Energy is not considered a state of matter because it is a property or characteristic of matter rather than a form of matter itself. Matter is composed of particles (atoms, molecules) that have mass and occupy space, while energy is a measure of the ability to do work or cause change in matter. So, energy and matter are distinct concepts in physics.
Is gold heavier than tungsten?
Yes, gold is heavier than tungsten.
Is matter always a lot heavier than energy?
Matter and energy are fundamentally different concepts, and their weight cannot be directly compared. Matter has mass and occupies space, while energy is a property of matter and is not bound by mass in the traditional sense. According to Einstein's equation (E=mc^2), energy can be converted to mass and vice versa, which illustrates that they are interconnected rather than one being inherently heavier than the other. Thus, it is not accurate to say that matter is always a lot heavier than energy.
What does more particles in matter do?
It makes it heavier. However, a particle is matter (please leave anti-matter and energy out of this ;)).So your question actually is: What does more matter in matter do?
Why are some objects heavier than others?
Objects are heavier than others due to differences in their mass and density. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while density is how compact that matter is. Objects with higher mass or higher density will be heavier than those with lower mass or lower density.
What process turns a star matter into energy?
Nuclear fusion, of lighter elements onto heavier elements.
Why neutron heavier than proton?
To conserve energy in beta decay.
Are charged batteries heavier than uncharged batteries?
Yes, charged batteries are typically heavier than uncharged batteries due to the presence of stored energy in the charged batteries.
Is there something that is smaller than matter?
Matter is everything that isn't energy. There is nothing other than matter and energy. You can't compare the two. It's like asking, "What's bigger than the universe?"
How can you know that an object is matter or not matter?
if it is an object, than it is composed of matter. if it is a form of energy, then it is not concidered matter
Is fusing two mercury-202 atoms a way that energy can be released?
No. Basically, if you fuse anything heavier than iron, you will require energy input, rather than releasing energy.
How many represent a complete outermost energy level for elements heavier than boron?
14
Massive stars cannot generate energy through iron fusion because?
No energy is gained when fusing iron into heavier elements. Heavier elements have a higher potential energy (nuclear energy) than iron.
Why can the fusion of iron into heavier elements not support a star?
The fusion of iron into heavier elements cannot support a star because it requires more energy than it produces, leading to a loss of energy and the collapse of the star.
