•Question 7 (1 point) The sun produces
energy by converting mass
into energy via a fusion process.
How much energy is produced when the
sun converts 1 kg of mass into energy? Also note that when checking units the unit of energy called a "Joule" is shorthand for a
"kg m2/s2".
a. 6 x 1016 J
b. 9 x 108 J c. 6 x 1016 J
d. 3 x 1016 J
e. 9 x 1016 J
•E =
mc2. Mass = 1 kg, c = 3x108 m/s. So E= 1kg x (3x108 m/s)2
•So
that’s jut 9x1016 J, right?
