oh! what a noob nam .. noob question!xD
E = 0.01 x c^2
finish !*
E = 0.01 x c^2
finish !*

From Wikipedia:xiao1985 said:
The newton is the unit of force in the SI system; it is equal to the amount of force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one metre per second squared. Algebraically:
One joule is the work done, or energy expended, by a force of one newton moving one metre along the direction of the force
Therefore

i am pretty sure u a right, i did a study into this in year three (nerd i no) and that was the conclusion i came 2. my friend who is a particle physisist sed that this is essentially right, he wouldn't tell me wat was wrong tho.kooltrainer said:
The only thing that seems wrong in the mathematical process is we are taking 10g as the rest mass. But if u consider the rest mass as 2.5kg and the rest energy as 2.5kg*c^2=rest Energy and the change in mass in 10g so the new energy of the new mass is given by E=(2.5-0.01)kg*c^2 there fore the energy emmited is the difference btn the initial and final. I think the answer from 0.01*c^2 is right but it doesnt take into account the essential differences between whats the rest mass and the change in mass. Am pretty sure 0.01*c^2 would the marks thoughgurusson said:i am pretty sure u a right, i did a study into this in year three (nerd i no) and that was the conclusion i came 2. my friend who is a particle physisist sed that this is essentially right, he wouldn't tell me wat was wrong tho.
