jäännösmassa
Jäännösmassa, also known as residual mass, is a concept in physics that refers to the mass of a system after all the energy associated with it has been removed. It is a fundamental concept in the theory of relativity, particularly in the context of the mass-energy equivalence principle, as described by Albert Einstein's famous equation E=mc². In this equation, E represents energy, m represents mass, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum.
The residual mass of a system is the mass that remains when all the kinetic energy, potential
In practical terms, the residual mass is often used to describe the mass of a system after
The concept of jäännösmassa is also relevant in astrophysics, where it is used to describe the mass
