What is the energy equivalent of 2 kg of matter in Joules? (Given c = 3 × 10⁸m/s )

Given: What is the energy equivalent of 2 kg of matter in Joules? (Given c = 3 × 10⁸m/s ) Formula: E = m c². Substitution & Calculation: m = 2 kg, c² = 9 × 10¹⁶m²/s² . E = 2 × 9 × 10¹⁶= 1.8 × 10¹⁷J . Final Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per latest NCERT 2026-27.
