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.

A popular car stereo has four speakers, each rated at 60 W. In answering the following questions, assume that the speakers produ
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of sound = sound energy emitted by source / 4 π d² , where d is distance of the source .

A )

Intensity of sound at 1 m distance = 60 /4 π d²

d = 1 m

Intensity of sound at 1 m distance = 60 /(4 π 1²)

= 4.78 W m⁻² s⁻¹

B )

Intensity of sound at 1.5 m distance = 60 /4 π d²

d = 1.5  m

Intensity of sound at 1 m distance = 60 /(4 π 1.5²)

= 2.12 W m⁻² s⁻¹

C )

Intensity of sound due to 4 speakers at 1.5 m distance = 4 x 60 /4 π d²

d = 1.5  m

= 4 x 60 /(4 π 1.5²)

= 8.48 W m⁻² s⁻¹

D )

Intensity of sound due to .06 W speaker must be 10⁻¹² W s ⁻² . Let the distance be d .

.06 /4 π d² = 10⁻¹²

d² = .06 /4 π 10⁻¹²

d = 6.9 x 10⁴ m .

A mountain 10.0 km from a person exerts a gravitational force on him equal to 2.00% of his weight. (a) Calculate the mass of the
LiRa [457]

Answer:

a)   M = 2,939  10¹⁷ kg , b)   M_{e} / M  = 2 10⁷

Explanation:

a) The equation for gravitational force is

         F = G m M / r²

Where G is the gravitational constant that is worth 6.67 10⁻¹¹ N m² / kg², m the mass epa person. M the mass of the Mountain and r the distance between them.

The value of this force is 2% of the person's weight

          F = 0.02 W = 0.02 mg

we replace

         0.02 mg = G m M / r²

         M = 0.02 g r² / G

         r = 10 km = 10 10³ m = 1.0 10⁴ m

         M = 0.02  9.8  (10⁴)² / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

         M = 2,939  10¹⁷ kg

b) to compare the masses we find their relationship

       M_{e} / M = 5.98 1024 / 2,939 1017

       M_{e} / M  = 2 10⁷

c) treating the mountain as a point object

d) The mountain is not spherical so the distance changes depending on the height of the mountain
