Chapter 2, Problem 119AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass change in the given process is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The change in mass is calculated by the relation given below:

$\Delta m=\frac{\Delta E}{{\text{c}}^2}$

Here, $\Delta m$ is the change in mass, c is the speed of light, and $\Delta E$ is the change in energy.

Since $\text{1 J}$ is equal to ${\text{1 kg m}}^{\text{2}}{\text{s}}^{\text{-2}}$, so conversion factor is

$\begin{array}{c}\frac{{\text{1kg m}}^{\text{2}}{\text{s}}^{\text{-2}}}{\text{1 J}}\\ \end{array}$
