The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how much energy is produced when one microgram of matter is converted into energy, we can use Einstein's famous equation: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert Micrograms to Kilograms**: - Given mass = 1 microgram = \(1 \times 10^{-6}\) grams. - To convert to kilograms, we use the conversion factor: \[ 1 \text{ microgram} = 1 \times 10^{-6} \text{ grams} = 1 \times 10^{-9} \text{ kilograms} \] 2. **Use Einstein's Equation**: - Einstein's equation is given by: \[ E = mc^2 \] - Where: - \(E\) = energy in joules, - \(m\) = mass in kilograms, - \(c\) = speed of light in a vacuum (approximately \(3 \times 10^8\) m/s). 3. **Substitute the Values**: - Substitute \(m = 1 \times 10^{-9}\) kg and \(c = 3 \times 10^8\) m/s into the equation: \[ E = (1 \times 10^{-9} \text{ kg}) \times (3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s})^2 \] 4. **Calculate \(c^2\)**: - First, calculate \(c^2\): \[ c^2 = (3 \times 10^8)^2 = 9 \times 10^{16} \text{ m}^2/\text{s}^2 \] 5. **Calculate the Energy**: - Now substitute \(c^2\) back into the energy equation: \[ E = (1 \times 10^{-9}) \times (9 \times 10^{16}) = 9 \times 10^{7} \text{ joules} \] 6. **Final Result**: - Therefore, the energy produced from the conversion of one microgram of matter into energy is: \[ E = 9 \times 10^{7} \text{ joules} \] ### Answer: The energy produced when one microgram of matter is converted into energy is \(9 \times 10^{7}\) joules. ---
