Question

If one gram of matter could be completely converted into energy, the yield would be

Answer 1

Answer:

Energy, $E=9\times 10^{13}\ J$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of matter, m = 1 g = 0.001 Kg

If this matter is completely converted into energy, we need to find the yield. The mass of an object can be converted to energy as :

$E=mc^2$

c = speed of light

$E=0.001\ kg\times (3\times 10^8\ m/s)^2$

$E=9\times 10^{13}\ J$

So, the energy yield will be $9\times 10^{13}\ J$. Hence, this is the required solution.
