If one gram of matter could be completely converted into energy, the yield would be

A. 0.51 MeV.

B. 931 MeV.

C. 3 × 1013 J.

D. 9 × 1013 J.

E. 9 × 1016 J.

Answer:

Energy, [tex]E=9\times 10^{13}\ J[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of matter, m = 1 g = 0.001 Kg

If this matter is completely converted into energy, we need to find the yield. The mass of an object can be converted to energy as :

[tex]E=mc^2[/tex]

c = speed of light

[tex]E=0.001\ kg\times (3\times 10^8\ m/s)^2[/tex]

[tex]E=9\times 10^{13}\ J[/tex]

So, the energy yield will be [tex]9\times 10^{13}\ J[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
