28.6 Exercise 16

Avg difficulty 2.5

A supernova explosion of a 2.00×1031 kg2 . \text{00} \times \text{10}^{\text{31}} \text{ kg} star produces 1.00×1044 J1 . \text{00} \times \text{10}^{\text{44}} \text{ J} of energy. (a) How many kilograms of mass are converted to energy in the explosion? (b) What is the ratio Δm/mΔ m / m of mass destroyed to the original mass of the star?
