Lesson Topic
mass energy equivalance
Lesson Outline
Discuss how matter at rest has "rest energy", which is released when mass disappears. Equate resting energy to potential energy in Newtonian physics. Using E=MC^2 show how rest energy is related to mass. Discuss how in nuclear decay, the whole is slightly less in mass than the sum of its parts, due to released energy. Show that work must be done to overcome the nuclear strong force when a nucleus decays.
