Question 1 • Physics I

What is the energy equivalent of an object with a mass of 1 point 0 5 g ?

Answer
A
3 point 1 5 times 10 to the 5th power cap j
B
9 point 4 5 times 10 to the 13th power cap j
C
3 point 1 5 times 10 to the 8th power cap j
D
9 point 4 5 times 10 to the 16th power cap j

Explanation

Use Einstein’s equation, E = mc². Convert 1.05 g to kilograms: 1.05 g = 0.00105 kg. Then E = 0.00105 × (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)² = 9.45 × 10¹³ J, so the energy equivalent is 9.45 × 10¹³ joules (choice B).
