AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \frac{E}{2} \) given the mass defect and the energy released during a nuclear explosion involving 1 kg of uranium. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mass Defect**: The mass defect is given as 0.2%. This means that out of 1 kg of uranium, the effective mass that contributes to energy release is reduced by 0.2%. \[ ...
