Q: Solar Energy reaches earth at rate of 1.4kW per square meter of surface perpendicular to the direction of the sun. by how much does the mass of sun decrease per second owing to energy loss? The mean radius of the Earth’s orbit is 1.5 x 10 11 m. r • Surface area of a sphere of radius r is A = 4 π r 2 • Total Power radiated by Sun = power received by a sphere whose radius is equal to earth’s orbit radius 6

Mass Can “Morph” into Energy & Vice Verca • In Newtonian mechanics: mass and energy separate concepts • In relativistic physics : Mass and Energy are the same thing ! • New word/concept : MassEnergy , just like SpaceTime • It is the mass-energy that is always conserved in every reaction : Before & After a reaction has happened • Like squeezing a balloon : Squeeze here, it grows elsewhere – If you “squeeze” mass, it becomes (kinetic) energy & vice verca ! • CONVERSION FACTOR = C 2 • This exchange rate never changes ! Mass is Energy, Energy is Mass : Mass-Energy Conservation Examine Kinetic energy Before and After Inelastic Collision: Conserved?
