Question

How much energy will be created if a man of mass of 50 kg is destroyed completely. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

the energy released or created is  4.5 x 10¹⁸ J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the given matter (man), m = 50 kg

Apply Einstein's mass defect equation.

When a mass of any given matter is completely destroyed, the energy released is calculated as follows;

E = mc²

where;

E is the released or created

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

E = (50) x (3 x 10⁸)²

E = 4.5 x 10¹⁸ J

Therefore, the energy released or created is  4.5 x 10¹⁸ J
