11) The total conversion of 2.50 kilogram of the
Sun's mass into energy yields
(1) 9.31 x 102 MeV
(2) 8.38 x 10¹⁹ MeV
(3) 1.41 x 1030 MeV
(4) 2.25 x 10¹7 MeV


Sagot :

1.41 × 10³⁰ MeV

As we know, E=mc², where E is energy, m is mass and c is the speed of light(i.e. 3×10⁸ m/s).

Given mass = 2.5 kgs

E = (2.5)×(3×10⁸)² J = 22.5×10¹⁶ J

As our answer is in joules so we have to convert it into mega electron volt(MeV)

1 J = 6.242 × 10¹² MeV

⇒ 22.5×10¹⁶ J = 22.5×10¹⁶ × (6.242 × 10¹²) MeV

1.41 × 10³⁰ MeV
