Mass and Energy Calculations

Data Solution

𝑚 = 25 𝑔 = 0.025 𝑘𝑔 We use Einstein’s formula: 𝐸 = 𝑚. 𝑐 2

𝑐 = 3.0 × 108 𝑚/𝑠 𝐸 = (0.025 𝑘𝑔) × (3.0 × 108 𝑚/𝑠)2

𝐸 =? 𝐸 = 2.25 × 1015 𝐽

Data Solution

𝑚𝑒 = 9.11 × 10−31 𝑘𝑔 We use Einstein’s formula: 𝐸 = 𝑚. 𝑐 2

𝑐 = 3.0 × 108 𝑚/𝑠 𝐸 = (9.11 × 10−31 𝑘𝑔 × 2) × (3.0 × 108 𝑚/𝑠)2

𝐸 =? 𝐸 = 1.6 × 10−13 𝐽
