Nuclear interactions

In nature, there are certain rules and standards for an interaction. These interactions are universally accepted. There are four types of interactions:

Question

The explosive energy of a ton of TNT is 4.184*10⁹ Joules, according to Google. A megaton of TNT is a million times that. According to Wikipedia, the Tsar Bomba (Links to an external site.) was the most powerful thermonuclear weapon ever exploded, at 50 megatons of TNT. (For comparison, the explosive energy of WWII nuclear bombs was about 20 kilotons.)

Suppose one kg of antimatter came into contact with matter. How would the explosive energy compare with the explosive energy of the Tsar Bomba? (c = 3 * 10⁸ m/s)

Group of answer choices

1.There is no way to compare the two.

2.The kg of antimatter would produce at least a hundred times more energy.

3.The Tsar Bomba produced at least a hundred times more energy than the kg of antimatter.

4. They would be approximately the same.

(a) Estimate the mass of the luminous matter in the known universe, given there are 1011 galaxies, each containing 1011 stars of average mass 1.5 times that of our Sun. (b) How many protons (the most abundant nuclide) are there in this mates? (c) Estimate the total number of particles in the observable universe by multiplying the answer to (b) by two, since there is an electron for each proton, and then by 109, since there are far more particles (such as photons and neutrinos) in space than in luminous matter.

Edwin Hubble observed that the light from very distant galaxies was redshifted and that the farther away a galaxy was, the greater its redshift. What does this say about very distant galaxies? When Hubble first estimated the Hubble constant, galaxy distances were still very uncertain, and he got a value for H of about 600 km/s per Mpc. What would this have implied about the age of the universe? What problems would this have presented for cosmologists?
