The constant C is the speed of light aproximately 300,000 meters per second. Find the energy in a mass M of one kilogram (approx. 2 pounds) the energy is expressed in joules units. \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #22834 by jcmtnez(53)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! In physics the mass is always given in kilograms and the speed in m/s, using the SI. \n" ); document.write( "Therefore you only have to use the data in the Einstein's equation.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "E=mc^2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "E=(1kg)(3*10^5m/s)^2=9*10^10 kg*m^2/s^2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This an energy of 90,000,000,000 J \n" ); document.write( " |
