The mean radius of the Earth s orbit is 1.5 x m. r Surfae area of a sphere of radius r is A = 4πr Total Power radiated by Sun = power reeived by a sphere whose radius is equal to earth s orbit radius 6

7 E= m Sunshine Won t Be Forever r Total Power radiated by Sun = power reeived by a sphere with radius equal to earth-sun orbit radius( r in figure) Earth P P sun inident Plost = A = A A r W sun 6 P = 4.0# 10 W lost Earth inident 3 11 earth sun 4 earth sun = (1.4# 10 / m )(4 )(1.5# 10 ) 6 So Sun loses E = 4.0# 10 J of rest energy per seond I ts mass dereases by m = If the Sun's Mass =.0 # 10 6 E 4.0# 10 J = = # 8 (3.0# 10 ) kg per se kg So how long with the Sun last? One day the sun will be gone and the solar system will not be a hospitable plae for life E = m E = m 4 Relationship between P and E p = mu p = m u E # p = m 4 # m u = m ( # u ) = m 1# u ( # u ) = m 4 # u ( # u ) = m 4 E = p + (m )...important relation For partiles with zero rest mass like photon (EM waves) E= p or p = E (light has momentum) Relativisti Invariane : E # p = m 4 : In all Ref Frames Rest Mass is a finger print of the partile 7

8 Mass Can Morph into Energy & Vie Vera In Newtonian mehanis: mass and energy separate onepts In relativisti physis : Mass and Energy are the same thing New word/onept : MassEnergy, just like SpaeTime It is the mass-energy that is always onserved in every reation : Before & After a reation has happened Like squeezing a balloon : Squeeze here, it grows elsewhere If you squeeze mass, it beomes (kineti) energy & vie vera CONVERSION FACTOR = C This exhange rate never hanges Mass is Energy, Energy is Mass : Mass-Energy Conservation Examine Kineti energy Before and After Inelasti Collision: Conserved? S K = mu K=0 Before 1 v v V=0 1 After Mass-Energy Conservation: sum of mass-energy of a system of partiles before interation must equal sum of mass-energy after interation E = E before m m m + = M ' M = > m u u u 1% 1% 1% Kineti energy has been transformed into mass inrease after # ( K m $ M = M - m = = # % m ( # u ( # 1% ( & ) Kineti energy is not lost, its transformed into more mass in final state 8
