Tutorial
How much mass does the Sun convert into energy each second (in kg/s) if its luminosity is 3.84 x 1026 J/s?
How many kilograms of material will it burn during its lifetime (1010 years)?
What percentage of the Sun's total mass is this (M.
= 1.99 x 1030 kg)?

Energy is related to mass by:
E =
mc2
If we want to know the mass converted to energy per second, we can express this relation as
Amc²,
and solve for Am, where Am represents the change in mass per second.
Δm
(3 × 108 m/s)?
Am =
4.27e+9
4.27e+09| kg/s
Part 2 of 3
To determine how much mass is converted to energy over the Sun's lifetime, we should convert the amount of
mass converted per second to the amount converted per year.
1 year = 3.154e+7
