Question

.5. Pills can help with headaches of the medical variety, but antimatter pills, which may be converted into energy with 100% efficiency can help with power grid headaches - (a) Suppose an antimatter pill with a rest mass of 1.00 grams is at reference rela- tive to Youngstown. How much energy, in Joules, is stored in the antimatter pill? - (b) Suppose the power consumption in the Youngstown area is 100 MegaWatts Admittedly, this is a ballpark figure assuming 100,000 residences each using on average 1.00 kilowatts of electricity. For what length of time (in days) would the antimatter pil be able to supply the Youngstown power grid assuming perfect efficiency in converting antimatter to electric power?
