Using the equation E = mc2, calculate how many joules of energy would be produced by converting 6.8 × 10-6 kg of matter into energy in this fusion reaction. Use c = 3 × 108 m/s.

Explanation:

Using the formula : E = mc²

Where m = mass = 6.8 × 10^-6 kg

c = speed of light = 3 ×10^8 m/s

The amount of joules of energy that would be produced equals :

Plugging in our values :

E = mc²

E = (6.8 × 10^-6) kg × (3 ×10^8)²m/s

E = (6.8 × 10^-6) kg × 9 × 10^16 m/s

E = 61.2 × 10^(-6 + 16)

E = 61.2 × 10^10 J

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
