Calculate the amount of energy produced by the conversion of 50.0 kg of mass into energy. Use 3.00 x 108 m/s for the speed of light. Round to 3 significant digits.Which setup will solve this problem?

Use Einstein’s equation E = mc², where m = 50.0 kg and c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s. The correct setup squares the entire speed of light: E = (50.0 kg)(3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)². This corresponds to choice B.
