What is the easiest way to add energy to matter?
A
freeze it
B
heat it
C
shrink it
D
expand it
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Answer: The easiest way is to heat matter which raises its internal energy andso the mass as well.

Detailed explanation-2: -Matter is atoms and molecules, whereas heat is a change in energy (not even the energy itself) of these atoms and molecules. So they are not really the same thing. The Einstein’s equation, E=mc2, does allow for transformation of energy into matter and vice versa, which is what happens in nuclear reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -When two protons collide in the Large Hadron Collider, they may break apart into subatomic particles called quarks and a mitigating particle force called a gluon. Even when matter and antimatter annihilate each other, they produce energy, in the form of photons, which are quantum units of light.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adding or removing energy from matter causes a physical change as matter moves from one state to another. For example, adding thermal energy (heat) to liquid water causes it to become steam or vapor (a gas). And removing energy from liquid water causes it to become ice (a solid).

Detailed explanation-5: -Nuclear scientists have used a powerful particle accelerator to create matter directly from collisions of light. The idea of creating matter from light stems from Einstein’s famous E=mc2 equation, which states that energy and matter (mass) are interchangeable. More items •24-Jan-2022
