Answer:
The value is [tex]E = 1.35 *10^{14} \ J[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of matter converted to energy on first test is [tex]m = 1 \ g = 0.001 \ kg[/tex]
The mass of matter converted to energy on second test [tex]m_1 = 1.5 \ g = 1.5 *10^{-3} \ kg[/tex]
Generally the amount of energy that was released by the explosion is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = m * c^2[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 1.5 *10^{-3} * [ 3.0 *10^{8}]^2[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 1.35 *10^{14} \ J[/tex]
