How many 100w light bulbs could be powered for one year by the direct conversion of 1g of matter into energy?

No. of 100 W bulbs, n = 28,539 bulbs

Given:

Power of a single bulb = 100 W

Time period, T = 1 yr = = 31,536,000 s

mass of matter, m = 1 g =

Solution:

According to Eintein's mass-energy equivalence:

E =

E =

E =  

Power of a single bulb, P =  

                                       P =  

                                       P = 28,53,881 W

No. of 100 W bulbs, n =

                                 n =

                                 n = 28,539

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
