The energy released by the nuclear bomb that destroyed Hiroshima was equivalent to 12.4 kilotons of TNT. This is equivalent to 1.44 x 10¹4 J. The mass that was converted into energy in this explosion Use: E = mc² where the speed of light is 3.00 x 108 m/s. Note that 1 J = 1 kg m²/s² was 4.80 x 105 kg 4.80 × 10³ kg 1.60 × 10-³ kg 1.60 × 10-6 kg A B
