Conservation Of Mass and Energy -

Matter can’t be

Created or Destroyed

... but can be

converted into energy

according to the formula ...

Mass (kg) to Energy (J)

E	=	m	c²
Units (J)		(Kg)	m/s

c - speed of light = 3.00 x 10⁸m/s

Nuclear Fireball

A neutron splits a uranium nuclei.
What is this nuclear reaction called?

http://www.wpclipart.com/

Fission - splitting of a large nuclei into 2 or nuclei

Ex) ***Energy that can be obtained from converting 2.0 Kg to energy?

E	=	m	c²
Units (J)		(Kg)	m/s

E = 2.0 Kg(3.00 x 10⁸m/s)²

E = 1.8 x 10¹⁷ Joules

To convert universal mass units to energy in MeV

1 proton

(universal mass unit)

converts

to 9.31 x 10²Mev

931 MeV

(p. 1 Reference)

(Mass/Energy Relationship)

Typical Regents Question ...

Ex) How much energy can be generated when 2 universal mass units are completely converted into energy?

1 universal mass unit = 931 MeV

Answer: 1862 MeV
(each universal mass unit
converted produces 931 MeV)

National Synchrotron Light Source

How do electrons change when you give them a speed close to that of light?

Increasing the speed (energy) of an electron, increases their mass according to the equation E =mc²

The Elements: Forged in Stars

NOVA

Elements__Forged_in_Stars.mov

Author - "Fusion, which occurs when atomic nuclei combine to form new elements, is extremely powerful. All the stars in the universe, including the Sun, are nuclear furnaces fueled by fusion. Through fusion, stars are responsible for forming all the naturally occurring elements heavier than hydrogen and helium -- before stellar nucleosynthesis, only the lightest elements existed in the universe. This video segment adapted from NOVA illustrates the critical role that stars play in creating the elements."
