When 4.00g of hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium in the sun, 0.0265 g of matter is converted into energy. Calculate how much energy is given off by using the mass converted to energy and the speed of light = 3.00x108 m/s and that a joule = kgꞏm2/s2
Einstein's mass-energy equation is E=mc 2 , where mass is in kilograms and the speed of light is 3.00×108m/s. The unit of energy is the joule (4.184J=1cal;1000cal=1kcal,1J=1kg⋅m2/s2). 1) Calculate the energy released, in calories, when 1 g of matter is converted to energy, then calculate the energy released, in kilocalories, when 1 g of matter is converted to energy. 2)
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?
In fact, the conversion of mass to energy in the Sun is not 100% efficient. As we have seen in the text, the conversion of four hydrogen atoms to one helium atom results in the conversion of about 0.02862 times the mass of a proton to energy. How much energy in joules does one such reaction produce? (See Appendix E for the mass of the hydrogen atom, which, for all practical purposes, is the mass of a proton.)
Every second, the Sun converts 4 million tons of matter to energy. How long will it take the Sun to reduce its mass by 1% (the mass of the Sun is 21030 kg)? Compare your answer with the lifetime of the Sun so far.

Suppose you’re a physicist in 1859, and you are measuring the gravitational pull of the Sun to Mercury (This is the actual year that Urbain Le Verrier noticed an issue in the precession of the perihelion of Mercury’s orbit, leading to Einstein’s equations for Gravity!). The mass of Mercury is 3.285 * 1023 Kg, and the mass of the Sun is 1.989 * 1030 Kg. The distance from the Sun to Mercury is 49.015 billion meters! What is the is the acceleration due to gravity of the Sun to Mercury and Mercury to the Sun?
A star has an element in its atmosphere that normally emits a line of frequency fs = 7.5 x 10^14 vib/s. If astronomers measure the frequency of this line to be fo = 7.7 x 10^14 vib/s, then how fast are the Earth and this star traveling relative to each other? Remember that the correct equation for the speed v is given by v = [(fo^2 - fs^2) / (fo^2 + fs^2)] c Remember fo^2 means "fo squared."
