The Law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed?

Question

true or false if it is false what is it

Answer 1

matter and energy can be neither created nor destroyed but only changed in form

Answer 2

true

Answer 3

Since matter and energy are just variations on the same thing you can't "destroy" either. The uranium in a nuclear bomb essentially ceases to exist as matter when the thing detonates but it is changed into energy (along with some matter in the form of radioactive isotopes). Matter can become energy and vice versa although I don't know if anyone's managed to turn energy into matter.

Answer 4

it is true

Answer 5

true.

matter cannot be created or destroyed, just changed from one form to another.

Answer 6

True. It also goes on to say that it can only change forms.

Answer 7

false.  Matter can be "destroyed" if it is converted into energy.

There is the laow of conservation of matter AND energy.

Answer 8

True. Cant create something ( matter ) if there is no matter in the first place. Cant get ride of it, all you can do is just throw it away. And throwing it away is putting it somewhere, and somewhere is  real.

Answer 9

If God created the universe then He created matter so matter was created 'if' God is creator.  Actually, this probably is a good argument for the existence of a creator since matter is the one thing that joins everything together, meaning it brings an interconnectedness to creation itself, non-evolving.  I never thought of that as an argument before you presented this question.  Thanks.

Answer 10

true...but not at the sub-atomic level...and matter can be re-arranged.

Answer 11

That would be true

Answer 12

true. it can change forms, though.

Answer 13

I think true(probably wrong,but that's what I think I may have heard in science(wasn't payin attention too well).
