Antimatter observes and obeys the same fundamental forces that matter does:

  • gravity
  • electromagnetism
  • weak interactive
  • strong interactive

A positron, which is the anti-particle of the electron, for example, has the same mass as an electron and experiences the same attraction to all other matter (gravity) as an electron. That same positron is repelled by positively charged particles and attracted to negatively charged particles (electromagnetism).

What is the role of gravitational force between matter and antimatter?

Sir Issac Newton proposed theory of gravity. He formulated the relation between the force of gravity and the mass and the distance between the masses. This theory failed to explain as to why there is attraction between the masses and not repulsion. With every attraction you have to have corresponding repulsion. That problem is resolved with the discovery of antimatter. So like attracts like. So matter attracts matter and antimatter attracts antimatter. This fallows that matter repel antimatter. So force of gravity between the two masses of matter or two masses of antimatter is directly proportional to the product of masses or anti-masses (Antimatter). The force of repulsion will be directly proportional to the product of mass and anti-mass (Antimatter). It fallows that the force of repulsion is inversely proportional to square of distance between the two.


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 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.


Is anti-matter a state of matter?

Not as such, no. Antimatter is just matter that is charged backwards from what we think of as "normal" matter. it can be a solid, liquid, gas or plasma just like normal matter. the only difference is that antimatter uses positrons and anti-protons instead of electrons and protons to create an atom.

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.


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.


Is a force that attracts all matter to other matter?

I think its gravity caused by weight.


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.


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.
