Question

How much energy is produced when the sun

converts 1.7 kg of mass into energy?
Answer in units of J.

Answer 1

`E=1.53* 10^(17)\ J`

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the energy produced when Sun converts 1.7 kg of mass into energy. Einstein's mass energy relation is given by :

`E=mc^2`

c is speed of light

`E=1.7* (3* 10^8)^2\\\\E=1.53* 10^(17)\ J`

So, energy produced is
`1.53* 10^(17)\ J`.
