Energy coming to the earth and radioactivity are not same. Energy comes mostly from the sun and other parts of space. The energy of radioactivity is already bound up inside of the atom.

What energy is not created or destroyed?

matter. In one of the sciency laws it clearly states that matter is neither created nor destroyed.


Why is there a loss of mass when heating sucrose?

The law of conservation of mass clearly states that the mass could not have been destroyed (nor created for that matter). Theresore, when the reaction with air took place, part of the mass of the sucrose would be converted to a gaseous state, and probably a chemical reaciton with the air would create a different compound, and would escape into the atmosphere. hope this answers the question.


Do stones have a frequency?

I think yes it is because we would observe that during earthquake many buildings are destroyed we knew that this is due to resonance then it clearly states that stones have a frequency


Where does a pendulum swing fastest why?

This could be quantified using calculus, but to simply know WHERE it is fastest but not how fast, simple first principals are all that is required - that of conservation of energy. At the low point the pendulum has it's least Potential Energy (PE) - it has fallen as far as it can. As it rises it gains PE, gathering that energy by reducing the Kinetic Energy (energy of motion) of the mass. Clearly the pendulum is traveling fastest at the bottom.


Why is nuclear science important?

Radioactivity is important for a number of reasons. It is the basis of both nuclear power and nuclear weapons. It allows for such things as medical X-ray examinations. Radioactive decay in the interior of the planet Earth is the source of the heat which causes the mantle to be liquid, and thereby causes continental drift, and earthquakes and volcanoes. None of those would exist without radioactivity. The study of radioactivity has provided scientists with many vital clues about the structure of atoms, and the behavior of subatomic particles.

When neutrons were discovered were neutrons created on the experiment?

No because the law of conservation of matter clearly states that matter can NOT be created or destroyed. It can only change it's form.


Who formulated the law of conservation of energy?

Rudolf Clausius, a German mathematician and physicist formulated the law of conservation of energy clearly. Though William Rankine mentioned it but he did not formulate it as clearly as Clausius did.

Whose law says Nothing can be created nor destroyed?

The law of conservation of mass was first clearly formulated by Lavoisier, a french chemist who was beheaded during the french revolution. E = mc2 , derived by Einstien, expresses how mass and energy may be converted. They may be interconverted but not created or destroyed

He created the first experiments that proved the Law of Conservation of Mass. These ideas were more clearly formulated in 1789 by Antoine Lavoisier.


What is the area of 2ft by 4ft by 6ft?

It is not posible to give an answer to the question. The shape for which the area is required is unknown.
