this is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The energy equivalence of 1 amu =  1.51*10^-10 Joules

Explanation:

• The link between mass and energy in a system's rest frame, where the two quantities differ only by a constant and the units of measurement, is known as mass-energy equivalence in physics.
• According to the formula, a particle's energy in its rest frame is equal to the product of its mass (m) and the square of the speed of light (c2).
• The formula suggests that a small amount of rest mass equates to a tremendous amount of energy, which is irrespective of the composition of the matter because the speed of light is a large number in ordinary units (about 300000 km/s).
• 1 amu = 1.67377 x 10 ^-27 kg
• We know E = mc^2
• E = energy, m = mass, c = speed of light
• E = 1.67377 x 10 ^-27 * (3 *10^8)^2
• E = 1.51*10^-10 J

The correct answer is 1.51* 10^-10 J.
