A quintal is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms, so 350 quintals would be equivalent to 35,000 kilograms. Antimatter is a form of matter composed of antiparticles, which have the same mass as their corresponding particles but opposite charge. When antimatter comes into contact with ordinary matter, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy according to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle (E=mc²).
The energy released by the complete annihilation of a given amount of matter and antimatter can be calculated using the equation E = mc², where E is the energy, m is the mass, and c is the speed of light (approximately 3 × 10^8 meters per second).
To calculate the energy released by 35,000 kilograms of antimatter, we need to multiply the mass by the square of the speed of light:
E = (35,000 kg) × (3 × 10^8 m/s)²
= 35,000 × 9 × 10^16 J
= 3.15 × 10^21 joules
So, a 350 quintal (35,000 kilograms) of antimatter would release approximately 3.15 × 10^21 joules of energy if it were to come into contact with an equal amount of ordinary matter. This is an enormous amount of energy, equivalent to several thousand times the total annual energy consumption of the entire world.
