Respuesta :

At a known mass of the spaceship, the amount of energy that would be needed to accelerate the spaceship to half the speed of light is 1.5 x 10⁸  x m (J).

Energy needed

The amount of energy that would be needed to accelerate a large spaceship to half the speed of light is calculated as folllows;

E = mc²

where;

  • m is mass of the spaceship
  • c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

half the speed of light = 1.5 x 10⁸ m/s

E = 1.5 x 10⁸  x m

Thus, at a known mass of the spaceship, the amount of energy that would be needed to accelerate the spaceship to half the speed of light is 1.5 x 10⁸  x m (J).
