It has been found that burning 1 liter or 074 kg of gasoline
It has been found that burning 1 liter, or 0.74 kg, of gasoline reduces its rest mass by
Solution
E = m c2
c = 3 * 108 m/s
(3.8 * 10-10) / (0.74) = 5.14 * 10-10
For fission solve for m
8.0 * 1013 J = m * c2
m = 8.0 * 1013 / (3 * 108)2 = 8.88 * 10-4 kg
ratio of the fractional decrease in mass of the nuclear fuel to the fractional decrease in mass of gasoline
8.88 * 10-4/ 5.14 * 10-10 = 1.73 * 106
