Question

Help:The sun radiates about 3.6 x 10^26 joules of energy each second. How much mass does the sun lose each second? Show your work.

Answer 1

Use Einstein's mass-energy relation equation. \[E = m c^{2}\]

Answer 2

yea I did but am stuck whats the speed of light

Answer 3

I know that E= 3.6 * 10^26 but not shure of c^2

Answer 4

c = 299 792 458 m/s

Answer 5

okay so its m=3.6*10^26/299,792,458? and I get my answer afterward?
