Given data
*The given energy released is E = 4.5 × 10^9 J
*The value of the speed of the light is c = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s
The formula for the mass is calculated according to the relativistic equivalence of mass and energy
[tex]E=mc^2[/tex]Substitute the known values in the above expression as
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4.5\times10^9=m(3.0\times10^8)^2 \\ m=5.0\times10^{-8}\text{ kg} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the mass is m = 5.0 × 10^-8 kg
