If mass is equal to 89.87, the speed of light is 3x10 to the 8 and energy is e=mc squared, what is energy?
Here's a good calculator for that e=mc^2 stuff http://www.1728.org/einstein.htm but I'll also work it out for you.
First of all you have to get the units right. If we use mass of 89.87 grams and the speed of light is 29,979,245,800 centimeters per second (okay about 3 x 10^10 cm/sec) our answer will be in ergs When we use mass in kilograms, and speed of light equals 3 x 10^8 meters/second then the answer is in joules.
If you are using speed of light in meters per second, (3 x 10^8 m/sec) then we'll assume the 89.87 mass is in kilograms. E=mc^2 Energy (joules) = 89.87kg * (3 x 10^8 m/sec)^2 Energy = 89.87 * 9 x 10^16 Energy = 8.09 x 10^18 joules
