On Dec 5, 2022, scientific history was made at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California when nuclear fusion was achieved when the 192 lasers deposited about 2 Megajoules (MJ) of energy into a frozen pea sized deuterium-tritium pellet and ignited the pellet through nuclear fusion to release 3 MJ of energy. The metric prefix mega means million (10^6). a) How much mass (kg) would be required to release 1 MJ of energy

Problem 1. Mass-Energy conversion in the Sun (Palen, et. al. 3rd Edition, Chapter 11, problems 38, 39) The Sun produces energy by converting mass m into energy E according to E = mc2 where c is the speed of light (c = 300,000 km/sec). Show that if the Sun produces 3.85 × 1026 joules (J) of energy per second, it must convert 4.3 billion kg of mass per second into energy. Note that 1 J/s is a watt (W), which may be more familiar to you. How much mass has the Sun lost over its lifetime (4.5 billion years)? The current mass of the Sun is 2 × 1030. What fraction of this mass has been converted into energy during the Sun’s lifetime?
