Mass and energy are equivalent, so there are exchanges of between mass and energy any time there is a change in motion (kinetic energy). But Atomic energy is the most familiar conversion of mass into energy. The explosion of an nuclear bomb, or the energy generated by a nuclear reactor are consequences of conversion of mass into energy.

Energy from combustion is not primarily derived from mass/energy conversion, but from exothermic chemical reactions. In fact, any such exchange between mass and energy would operate in the other direction, as gasses gain mass as they are put into motion (increased kinetic energy=increased mass). But any such gain is so tiny as to be meaningless.

Can energy converted into mass?

Yes. In a way, energy and mass are closely related; energy HAS mass, mass HAS energy. Energy gets converted into mass routinely in particle accelerators. The kinetic energy from the moving particles gets converted into new particles.


During nuclear fission, mass is converted into what?

During nuclear fission, mass is converted into energy.


Can mass be converted into electrical energy using transducers?

Mass can be converted to energy in some very special cases, but no general method to convert any mass directly into energy is known.


Atomic energy converted to mass?

In accordance with Einstein's theory of relativity (E=mc^2), atomic energy can be converted into mass. This means that when atoms undergo nuclear reactions, small amounts of mass are converted into energy. Conversely, energy can also be converted back into mass under certain conditions.


Can bio mass energy be converted into Heat energy?

Sure, burn it.


What is the relationship between mass and energy?

The relationship between mass and energy is described by Einstein's famous equation, Emc2. This equation shows that energy and mass are interchangeable and can be converted into each other. In other words, mass can be converted into energy, and vice versa, according to this equation.


Which form of energy is converted to kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)


Potential energy is frequently converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy?

represents the energy of motion and is related to an object's mass and speed. It is calculated as 1/2 the mass times the velocity squared.


What did Einstein propose about stars?

its not about stars its about mass and he proposed that mass can be converted into energy


How can be energy converted into mass?

One way uses particle colliders. Some of the energy of high velocity subatomic particles in the collisions creates new particles.


If a mass of matter is converted to electromagnetic radiation what should be the energy of this radiation?

The energy of the radiation produced should be equivalent to the mass of matter converted, multiplied by the speed of light squared, as described by Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2. This represents the mass-energy equivalence principle, which shows that mass can be converted into energy and vice versa.


What do atoms convert mass in to?

The mass can be converted in energy: the equation of Einstein is: E= mc2.
