The energy in MeV is released due to transformation of 1 kg mass completely into energy, is (c=3 10^8 ~m / s )
Options
- A7.625 10 MeV
- B10.5 10²⁹ MeV
- C2.8 10⁻²⁸ MeV
- D5.625 10²⁹ MeV
Correct answer
D. 5.625 10²⁹ MeV
Step-by-step solution
According to Einstein's mass energy equivalence E=m c^2=1 (3 10^8 )^2=9 10¹⁶ ~J aligned & = 9 10¹⁶ 1.6 10⁻¹³ MeV & (since 1 MeV =1.6 10⁻¹³ ~J ) aligned =5.625 10²⁹ MeV
