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

It has been found that burning 1 liter, or 0.74 kg, of gasoline reduces its rest mass bySolutionE = m c2 c = 3 * 108 m/s (3.8 * 10-10) / (0.74) = 5.14 * 10-10 F
