Re: Full or Half Full Gas Tank
Einstein's equation states that the amount of energy you have is equal to
the mass involved times the square of the speed of light. If 1 gram of mass
is converted into energy, then to determine how much energy is involved in
ergs, you just multiply 1 gram by the speed of light squared, in units of
centimeters per second.
Energy in ergs = 1 gram x ( 30,000,000,000.0 cm/sec) x (30,000,000,000.0
cm/sec).
This equals 900,000,000,000,000,000,000.0 ergs of energy.
Now, to convert this into other physical units is a bit awkward but doable.
For instance, this is equal to the energy emitted by a 100 watt bulb
(producing 100 x 10 million ergs/sec) for:
900,000,000,000,000,000,000.0/(100 x 10,000,000) = 900,000,000,000.0
seconds. Since there are about 30,000,000.0 seconds in a year, this means
that a 100 watt bulb running for 30,000 years produces as much energy as 1
gram of matter converted into energy. Or you can think of it as 30,000
hundred-watt bulbs burning for one year - the output from a small town
lighting system.
There are other physical units you could use as well. If you don't like
watts, you could use horse power. 1 HP = 745 watts, so 1 gram of matter
converted into energy equals 1 HP expended for about 30,000/7.45 = 3500
years. If you don't like grams, you could use pounds. 1 pound = 453 grams so
1 pound converted to energy gives you 453 x (
900,000,000,000,000,000,000.0 ) ergs. If you like BTUs, however, 1 BTU =
1055 Joules or 10.55 billion ergs per second over one second of time. 1 BTU
= 100 watts ( 100 joules/sec) x 10.55 seconds. 1 gram converted to energy
would then equal an expenditure of 1 BTU for:
900,000,000,000.0 / 10.55 = 9,000,000,000.0 seconds or about 300 years.
the mass involved times the square of the speed of light. If 1 gram of mass
is converted into energy, then to determine how much energy is involved in
ergs, you just multiply 1 gram by the speed of light squared, in units of
centimeters per second.
Energy in ergs = 1 gram x ( 30,000,000,000.0 cm/sec) x (30,000,000,000.0
cm/sec).
This equals 900,000,000,000,000,000,000.0 ergs of energy.
Now, to convert this into other physical units is a bit awkward but doable.
For instance, this is equal to the energy emitted by a 100 watt bulb
(producing 100 x 10 million ergs/sec) for:
900,000,000,000,000,000,000.0/(100 x 10,000,000) = 900,000,000,000.0
seconds. Since there are about 30,000,000.0 seconds in a year, this means
that a 100 watt bulb running for 30,000 years produces as much energy as 1
gram of matter converted into energy. Or you can think of it as 30,000

would then equal an expenditure of 1 BTU for:
900,000,000,000.0 / 10.55 = 9,000,000,000.0 seconds or about 300 years.
