Question

According to the scientist Albert Einstein, mass can be transformed into energy. The amount of energy is given by the equation: E = mc2 (E is the energy in Joules, m is the mass in kg, and c = 3 × 108). What is the energy released in Joules from a cricket ball of mass 0.15 kg expressed in standard form? 1.35 × 1016 13.5 × 1015 1.35 × 1019 13.5 × 1018

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

E = mc2, equation in German-born physicist Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity that expresses the fact that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other. In the equation, the increased relativistic mass (m) of a body times the speed of light squared (c2) is equal to the kinetic energy (E) of that body.
