What needs to convert matter into energy by E=mc^2?
According to Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2, matter can be converted into energy through nuclear reactions or particle collisions. This means that a small amount of matter can release a large amount of energy.
Atoms are the building blocks of matter and contain a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons. Nuclear reactions involve the splitting of atoms or the fusion of atoms, which releases energy in the form of heat, light, and other forms of radiation.
Yes, all forms of matter have the potential to be converted into energy through nuclear reactions. However, the amount of energy released may vary depending on the type and amount of matter involved in the reaction.
In theory, yes, matter can be converted back into energy through nuclear reactions. However, this process requires specific conditions and technology that are not currently available. Additionally, the amount of energy needed to convert matter back into its original form would likely be greater than the amount of energy released during the initial conversion.
During nuclear reactions, the nucleus of an atom is altered, which releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation. This energy is released due to the strong nuclear force that holds the nucleus together being overcome by the forces involved in the reaction.
