The Sun converts 4 × 109 kg of mass to energy every second. How many years would it take the Sun to convert a mass equal to the mass of Earth to energy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.74 x 10⁷ yr

Explanation:

m = Rate of conversion of mass to energy by sun = 4 x 10⁹ kg/s

t = total time taken to convert mass of earth to energy

M = mass of earth = 5.98 x 10²⁴ kg

Using the equation

M = m t

5.98 x 10²⁴ = (4 x 10⁹) t

t = 1.495 x 10¹⁵ sec

we know that, 1 yr = 3.154 x 10⁷ sec

t = (1.495 x 10¹⁵ sec)  (3.154 x 10⁷ sec)⁻¹ yr

t = 4.74 x 10⁷ yr

Answer:

7.665×[tex]10^7[/tex] year

Explanation:

It is given that the Sun convert 4×[tex]10^9[/tex] kg of mass into energy every second

We have to find that how much time Sun will take to convert mass of earth into energy

The mass of earth is 9.67×[tex]10^{24}[/tex] so the time required to convert this mass into energy [tex]=\frac{9.67\times 10^{24}}{4\times 10^9}=2.417\times 10^{15}sec=7.665\times 10^7\ year[/tex]

So the required time will be 7.665×[tex]10^7[/tex] year
