a) Use E = mc2 to convert the mass of the residue to unadulterated energy.
E = 9.35E-10 * (3E8)2
E = 8.415 x 107 J
b) If 100% of the energy from this atomic response was converted into the kinetic energy of the truck, the following equation can be used to solve for velocity.
Eatomic = KEtruck
Eatomic = mv2/2
√(2(Eatomic)/m) = v
√(2(8.415 x 107)/1825) = v
v = 303.68 m/s
