Calculate the energy released in joules when 5 g of a material is completely converted into energy during a nuclear reaction.

Mass of material,

m = 5g = 0.005kg,


Speed of light, c = 3 x 108m/s


We know that, E = mc2


E = 0.005 x (3 x 108)2


E = 4.5 x 1014J


Hence, energy released= 4.5 × 1014J
