The energy equivalent to a substance of mass ( 1 ~g ) is
Options
- A( 18 10^ (13) J )
- B( 9 10^ (13) J )
- C( 18 10⁶ ~J )
- D( 9 10⁶ ~J )
Correct answer
B. ( 9 10^ (13) J )
Step-by-step solution
We know E=m c² Given m=1 ~g =1 10⁻³ ~kg We know c=3 10⁸ ~ms ⁻¹ E= (1 10⁻³ ) (3 10⁸ )²=9 10¹³ Therefore, energy equivalent to a substance of mass 1 ~g is 9 10¹³ ~J
