Matter that goes through nuclear reaction will result in a loss of mass, this missing mass is "destroyed" and energy.is "created"
research mass defect for more information
NO!
According to the first law of thermodynamics energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
But it can be converted from one form into another.
According to another defination..its impossible to construct a machine that performs work without spending energy.
The ans.that wrote mass defect...need a real wake up call!
mass is converted into energy...E=mc^2...its transformation not creation.
Check dictionary for creation word...it means out of no thing.
The only way in which energy can be created is the method of barrier penetration,according to the Heisenberg's uncertainity principle.Since it is almost irrelevant to daily life,it can be said that energy cannot be created.
No. It just changes states, or is released from other particles. when you burn wood energy is released. When you eat energy changes from "food energy" to ATP energy. Energy can not be created but simply converted so that we can use it.
ummm....so matter cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change states. For matter to change states it must release energy. So that is how you create energy, change the state of matter - like, burning wood for fire, the wood (solid) changes state into smoke (gas) and of course heat ENERGY!...is that right?
