This is College Physics Answers with Shaun Dychko. 50 grams of mass is going to be converted completely into energy and the formula to describe how much energy is mc squared. So the mass is 50 grams, we convert that into kilograms by multiplying by 1 kilogram for every 1000 grams then multiply by the speed of light squared and this is 4.5 times 10 to the 15 joules of energy will be obtained.
