How much mass is equivalent to 1 MJ of energy?
A. 1.1 10^-5 kg B. 1.1 10^-11 kg C. 3.3 10^-3 kg D. 9.0 10^22 kg
e = mc^2
can you help me to use it?
cause i got this question and have never been taught to put it into equation
c = speed of light in meters / second
Einstein's famous equation
still confused what do i do with that to tell how many kg its equal to?
speed of light is 3 * 10^8 m / s
so m = 1,000,000 / (3*10^8)^2 = 1.1 8 10^-11 kg
* 1.1 * 10^-11 kg
e = m c^2 so m = e / c^2
mass = energy / square of speed of light
an amazing amount of energy is formed from such a tiny mass. That's why the atomic and hydrogen bombs are so destructive.
where di the 1,000,000 come from?
1 MJ = 1 mega joule or 1,000,000 joules of energy
written in scientific notation it is 1 * 10^6
