21 Einstein’s equation: (mass-energy relation)
How much energy is created when 1 kg of mass is converted into energy? 1 megaton of TNT ~ 4 x 1015 J !!! How much energy is produced when 1 kg of hydrogen is converted to helium? How many protons are in a kg? This many protons makes how many helium nuclei? That many He nuclei has what mass? So how much mass was converted to energy? So the energy is…
