E=mc^2

hence m= E/c^2
= (3.6x10^26)/(9×10^16)
= 4x 10^9 kg

Answer:

The lost mass is [tex]4\times10^{9}\ kg[/tex].

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy [tex]E= 3.6\times10^{26}\ J[/tex]

Using Einstein's mass energy equation

[tex]E = mc^2[/tex]

Where, m = lost mass

c = speed of light

E = energy

We substitute the value into the formula

[tex]3.6\times10^{26}=m\times(3\times10^{8})^2[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{3.6\times10^{26}}{(3\times10^{8})^2}[/tex]

[tex]m =4\times10^{9}\ kg[/tex]

Hence, The lost mass is [tex]4\times10^{9}\ kg[/tex].
