The explosive energy of a ton of TNT is 4.184*10° Joules, according to Google. A megaton of TNT is a million times that. According to Wikipedia, the Isar Bombae was the most powerful thermonuclear weapon ever exploded, at 50 megatons of TNT. (For comparison, the explosive energy of WWII nuclear bombs was about 20 kilotons.) Suppose one kg of antimatter came into contact with matter. How would the explosive energy compare with the explosive energy of the Tsar Bomba? (c = 3* 10° m/s) There is no way to compare the two. The Tsar Bomba produced at least a hundred times more energy than the kg of antimatter. The kg of antimatter would produce at least a hundred times more energy. They would be approximately the same.

Carbon-14 is radioactive while Carbon-12 is stable. In your body, the ratio of C-14 to C-12 is for every 10,000 C-14 atoms, there are 1 trillion (1,000,000,000,000) C-12 atoms. This is the normal ratio for livings things. In a piece of a sabre-tooth tiger bone, a scientist finds there are only 625 C-14 atoms for every 1 trillion C-12 atoms.How old is the sabre-tooth tiger bone? The half-life for Carbon-14 is 5730 years.

There is only one part to this question and I need to know the particles per second. Thank you!!
Suppose a spaceship has the mass of a typical ocean cruise ship, then it can be assumed that it has a mass of 3.1 × 108 kg. Consider the kinetic energy required at 13 % of the speed of light. If energy to get a spaceship to cruising speed is generated using matter-antimatter annihilation, what mass of antimatter in kg is required?Hint: Matter-antimatter annihilation converts an entire mass of matter and antimatter into pure energy with no loss.
The mass of a theoretical particle that may be associated with the unification of the electroweak and strong forces is 1014 GeV/c2. How many proton masses is this?
