- Please provide complete solutions. Thank you!arrow_forwardnumber 40 and 41 pls :((arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forward
