In a fission reaction, 0.001 kg of mass is converted to energy. How much energy is released? (c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s)
Q1. In a fission reaction, 0.001 kg of mass is converted to energy. How much energy is released? (c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s)
Answer: 9 × 10¹³ J
Explanation: E = mc² = 0.001 × (3 × 10⁸)² = 9 × 10¹³ J. Option B misplaces the decimal.
