Since nuclear fusion in the sun creates energy from matter, why doesn't it violate the law of conservation of energy?

Physics

Since nuclear fusion in the sun creates energy from matter, Einstein's formula E=mc² states that matter and energy are equal.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the nuclear fusion.

<h3>What is nuclear fusion?</h3>
  • We are aware that the sun can achieve nuclear fusion by the fusion of hydrogen atoms.
  • These atoms need to get closer to one another in order to fuse.
  • Since both protons inside each nucleus are positively charged, they attempt to repel one another as they get closer to one another.
  • If this issue cannot be solved, nuclear fusion in the sun cannot occur.

Thus, we can conclude that, since nuclear fusion in the sun creates energy from matter, Einstein's formula E=mc² states that matter and energy are equal.

Which best explains how an object at rest deep in space and far from any massive body behaves compared to an object in free fall
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: They behave the same because, according to the principle of equivalence, the laws of physics work the same in all frames of reference.

Explanation:

According to the equivalence principle postulated by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, acceleration in space and gravity on Earth have the same effects on objects.

To understand it better, regarding to the equivalence principle, Einstein formulated the following:  

A gravitational force and an acceleration in the opposite direction are equivalent, both have indistinguishable effects.  Because the laws of physics must be accomplished in all frames of reference.

Hence, according to general relativity, gravitational force and acceleration in the opposite direction (an object in free fall, for example) have the same effect.  This makes sense if we deal with gravity not as a mysterious atractive force but as a geometric effect of matter on spacetime that causes its deformation.

When a system does work, what happens to its internal energy
tester [92]
The first law, which deals with changes in the internal energy, thus becomes 0 = Q - W, so Q = W.

If the system does work, the energy comes from heat flowing into the system from the reservoir; if work is done on the system, heat flows out of the system to the reservoir
