What Matter in the universe that is undetectable but has mass is called?

Dark matter. It is theorized to make up approximately 27% of the universe's total mass-energy content. Its presence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter.


Why does the mass of a substance remain constant?

Because there is a law of nature that says that matter (mass) can neither be created nor destroyed. However, Einstein proved that mass and energy are actually the same thing (E=MC2), so mass can be turned into energy and energy can be turned into mass.


Does the ball with greater mass always have greater mechanical energy?

Not necessarily. The mechanical energy of an object depends on both its mass and its velocity. While a larger mass can contribute to greater mechanical energy, a faster-moving object with smaller mass could have greater mechanical energy.


How does a change in mass affect the potential and kinetic energy of an object, and could you explain the specific impact of this change on the overall energy of the object?

When the mass of an object changes, its potential and kinetic energy also change. An increase in mass leads to an increase in potential and kinetic energy, while a decrease in mass results in a decrease in both types of energy. This change in mass directly impacts the overall energy of the object, as the total energy of the object is the sum of its potential and kinetic energy.


What element did Einstein believe could be used to prove his theory that mass and energy are interchangeable?

Einstein believed that the element of uranium could be used to prove his theory that mass and energy are interchangeable. This idea led to the development of nuclear energy and the famous equation E=mc^2.

Who is the scientist who theorized that mass and energy are variations of each other?

Albert Einstein, with the equation E=mc2.


How is energy turned to mass What is an example of turning energy to mass?

Energy can be turned into mass through the process of pair production, where a high-energy photon creates a particle-antiparticle pair. An example of turning energy into mass is when a gamma-ray photon interacts with an atomic nucleus, leading to the production of an electron-positron pair.


When can a substance's mass be 0?

Yes, a Photon's mass is theorized to be zero.

Is it possible that time is nothing more than a simplified combination of multiple dimensions?

Einstein theorized that in the same why mass was energy, time was space. So, in effect, time could be nothing more than a simplification of the three dimensions we live in.

What is Albert Einsteins famous formula?

Einstein's famous formula is the formula for the mass-energy equivalence: E=mc2 This describes how mass can be turned into energy and vice versa. Thus E,energy= mass X speed of light x speed of light (a very big number). This means a tiny amount of mass converted to energy is huge and is why atom bombs are so powerful.


What is the energy transformation taking place when a person runs?

The energy in chemical bonds (from food) is turned into:kinetic energy (moving mass), noiseheat (shoes heat up , the runner's body get warm)


Do dark matter has mass?

It is precisely because of it's mass that it's even theorized that Dark Matter exists. We notice the movement and behavior of certain areas of space far from us that we cannot see the matter that is effecting it. It was theorized that there must still be something that is affecting that space, regardless of whether or not we can see it. This unseen matter is called Dark Matter. If it did not have mass, it would not be affecting the space around it, so it's purpose for being theorized would be meaningless.
