The energy equivalent of 0.5 g of a substance is:
- 4.5 × 10^13 J
- 1.5 × 10^13 J
- 0.5 × 10^13 J
- 4.5 × 10^16 J
Correct answer: 4.5 × 10^13 J
Solution
Using Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula, E = mc², where m = 0.5 g = 0.5 × 10⁻³ kg and c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s. Substituting, E = (0.5 × 10⁻³) × (3 × 10⁸)² = 4.5 × 10¹³ J.
