Mass.
The total mass of the fragment nuclei after fission, or the composite nucleus after fusion,
is less than the mass of the nuclei that entered the process.
The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.
Mass can be conveted into energy by a nuclear reaction. The ammount of energy converted can be calculated by E=mc^2. So for every gram that is lost 9,000,000,000,000,000 J of energy will be released. That is enough to power a 100 Watt light bulb for 3 million years. That's a lot of energy.
It depends on how much you are reacting, what element it is, and how quickly it reacts. But in all cases E=mc^2 Meaning that the energy (in Joules) released is equal to the mass lost (in kg) multiplied by the speed of light (300 000 000 m/s) squared.
No, a nuclear generator is not 100% efficient. Like other power generation systems, nuclear generators have inefficiencies such as heat loss and mechanical losses that prevent them from converting all the input energy into usable electricity. The efficiency of a nuclear generator typically ranges from 30% to 40%.
The mass that is lost during nuclear fusion is converted into energy according to Einstein's equation, E=mc^2. This released energy is what powers the sun and other stars.
The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.
False. Both mass and energy are conserved.
Matter and Energy
The mass lost in nuclear fusion is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2. This energy is released in the form of photons, such as gamma rays, and contributes to sustaining the fusion reaction.
Mass that is "lost" durning nuclear fusion is converted into binding energy to hold the newly formed atomic nucleus together. The lost mass, which is termed mass deficit, means the nucleus of the newly formed atom has less mass than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that make up that nucleus. The stong reaction (strong nuclear force) participitates in the fursion reaction by mediating the conversion of mass into nuclear binding energy (or nuclear glue).It converts into the energy that is the desired end product of the reaction.
Energy is lost from a reaction in the form of heat. This heat is often referred to as exothermic heat, as it is released from the system during the reaction.
thermal energy lost
Some heat is lost in the vapour that rises from the power plant.
Lost Energy was created in 2008.
how am i meant to know you
