Suppose an antimatter at lower energy(K.E) collides with a matter in higher energy then what will be the output.
Antimatter is composed of particles that have the same mass as matter particles, but with opposite electrical charges. For example, an antiproton has the same mass as a proton, but a negative charge instead of a positive charge. This difference in electrical charge is what sets antimatter apart from matter.
When matter and antimatter particles come into contact, they annihilate each other, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. This energy can be harnessed and used for various purposes, such as powering spacecraft or producing electricity.
In terms of energy production, antimatter is much more powerful than matter. When a particle of antimatter and a particle of matter collide, they release 100% of their mass as energy, according to Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2. This is significantly more powerful than nuclear reactions, which only convert a small fraction of mass into energy.
According to the law of conservation of energy, matter and antimatter cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. This means that when antimatter is created, it must be in equal amounts to matter. Scientists are constantly working on ways to create and store antimatter, but it is a difficult and expensive process.
The potential applications of antimatter are still being explored, but some potential uses include energy production, medical imaging, and space travel. However, the challenges and costs of creating and storing antimatter make it unlikely to be used on a large scale in the near future.
