Best Answer

When an atomic nucleus splits into two or more pieces, the masses of

the pieces doesn't add up to the mass of the original nucleus. There's

always some mass missing, and some energy is always radiated from

the process.

How much energy ? Exactly what you get when you multiply

(the amount of mass that's missing) times ( c2 ) .

How does power relate to work in physics?

Work gives us energy in Joules, which can be subbed back into the first equation to solve for power.


How does Einstein's famous equation E mc2 relate to the production of the Sun's energy?

The sun produces energy by the fusion of nuclei of small elements into those of larger elements: for example hydrogen into oxygen. This process involves a loss of mass and that mass is converted into solar energy - in line with Einstein's equation.


What are some ordered pairs that the equation y equals 8x relate to?

This just means to list values of x and then plug them into the equation to find the value of y for that x. so in (x,y) form:(1,8) (2,16) (3,24) and so on.


How does e equals mc2 relate to fission or fussion?

When a single heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei (fission), the sum of their masses is less than the mass of the original nucleus. Some mass is missing, and some energy is released. When two light nuclei fuse into a single heavier nucleus (fusion), the mass of the heavier one is less than the sum of the masses of the two light ones. Some mass is missing, and some energy is released. In both events, the missing mass has been converted to energy. If the amount of missing mass is 'm', and you multiply 'm' by the square of the speed of light 'c2' , the answer you get is the amount of energy that was released 'e'. e = mc2

How does the equation E equals mc2 relate with the theory of special relativity?

When travelling a significant portion of the speed of light, you have a lot of energy but you'll be travelling less than the speed of light. This energy must go somewhere, but it cannot go to its velocity; therefore the energy is put into its mass.


How does nuclear energy relate to the sun?

We derive electromagnetic energy from the nuclear fusion reactions on the sun. We also apply nuclear energy (fission) on earth to generate lots of thermal energy, which we use in a steam cycle to generate lots of electric power.

How do neutrons electrons and protons relate to nuclear energy?

These are the constituents of atoms. Nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Useful nuclear energy is only obtained from a few nuclei which can be made to fission and release energy. The two main ones are Uranium235 and Plutonium239.
