Calculate the total amount of energy released if 20 g of given mass is completely converted into energy .

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the total amount of energy released when 20 grams of mass is completely converted into energy, we can use Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula: \[ E = mc^2 \] where: - \( E \) is the energy, - \( m \) is the mass, - \( c \) is the speed of light in a vacuum, approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) meters per second. ...
