Suppose that you have found a way to convert the rest energy of any type of matter directly to usable energy with an efficiency of 57.0%. How many liters of water would be sufficient fuel to very slowly push the Moon 1.50 mm away from the Earth? The density of water is pwater = 1.00kg/liter, the Earth's mass is Mearth = 5.97 × 1024 kg, the Moon's mass is Mmoon = 7.36 × 1022 kg, and the separation of the Earth and Moon is deM = 3.84 × 10° m. water: Liters
