Answer:
(c) 5.00×10^-5 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
The mass and energy are related by Einstein's formula E = mc².
__
Solving for mass in kg, we find it to be ...
m = E/c² . . . . . . . . where E is in joules, and c is in meters/second
m = (4.50×10^12 J)/(3×10^8 m/s)² = 5.00×10^-5 kg
The lost mass was about 5.00×10^-5 kg.
