Question:

The energy to accelerate a starship comes from combining matter and antimatter. When this is done the total rest energy of the matter and antimatter is converted to other forms of energy. Suppose a starship with a mass of 2.0 × 105 kg accelerates to 0.3500c from rest. How much matter and antimatter must be converted to kinetic energy for this to occur?
