What total mass must be converted into energy

Physics

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.
______________________________________

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
 
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

     The equivalence between mass and energy is given by:

E=mc^2
  
     Entering the unknowns, we have:

1.03*10^{-13}=m*(3*10^8)^2 \\ m= \frac{1.03*10^{-13}}{9*10^{16}}  \\ \boxed {m=1.14*10^{-30}Kg}

Number 1

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

Which is true of magnetic field lines but not electric field lines?
marusya05 [52]

D

The closer the field lines, the stronger the field, whereas for electric field, the higher the electric flux passing through, the stronger the electric field.

Explanation:

Another difference between the two is that magnetic fields formed closed loops around the magnetic while electric fields do not. Electric fields are measured in two dimensional while magnetic fields in 3 dimensional. The electric field line can do work while magnetic fields can not (because particles in magnetic field remain constant even though the charge may change direction).
