Question

The sun radiates about 3.6 x 1026 joules of energy each second. How much mass does the sun lose each second?

Answer 1

sub what you have into \(E=mc^2\)
where E=3.6 x 1026J and c=3.0x10^8

Answer 2

where did you get 3.0*10^8

Answer 3

that is the speed of light, a constant.

Answer 4

ok so how would I solve this

Answer 5

the equation I've given is the einstein mass-energy equation.
The mass lost = energy out/ c^2
sub energy out= 3.6 x 1026J into the equation and you get the answer.
