A typical home uses approximately 1600 kWh of energy per month. If the energy came from a nuclear reaction, what mass would have to be converted to energy per year to meet the energy needs of the home

7.68×10^25kg

Explanation:

The formula for energy used per year is calculated as

Energy used per year =12 x Energy used per month

By substituting Energy used per month in the above formula, we get

Energy used per year =12 x 1600kWh

= 19200kWh

Conversion:

From kWh to J:

1 kWh=3.6 x 10^6 J

Therefore, it is converted to J as

19200 kWh =19200 x 3.6 x 10^6 J

= 6.912×10^10 J

Hence, energy used per year is 6.912×10^10 J

To find the mass that is converted to energy per year.

E = MC^2 1

E is the energy used per year

C is the speed of light = 3.0× 10^8m/s

Where E= 6.912×10^10 J

Substituting the values into equation 1

6.912×10^10 J = M × 3.0× 10^8m/s

M = 6.912×10^10 J / (3.0× 10^8m/s)^2

M = 6.912×10^10 J/9×10^16

M = 7.68×10^25kg

Hence the mass to be converted is

7.68×10^25kg

c

explanation:

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
