Help with physics?

[Eunos_Cosmo]

So I'm sort of struggling with this problem, anyone have some helpful ideas on what to do?

"Suppose that we could use the energy released
when 4 g of antimatter annihilates 4 g of
matter to lift a mass 1 km from the Earth?s
surface.
How much mass could we lift? Answer in
units of kg."

I was attempting to find the energy with e=mc^2 and using .004kg as the mass. Then I tried using work(energy)=mass*gravity*height to arrive at a mass, but my answer was incorrect. When I use .004kg for mass, I end up with 3.67e10, which isn't correct. Anybody got any ideas?

EDIT: I think the proper way is using the potential energy equation [energy=mass*gravity*height] after I have found energy from [e=mass*speed of light^2] Is this right?

Would the total energy released be from .004kg or from .008kg of matter?

Cmon...I know there are some Germans on here!

scratch that, found the answer.

what was it?

7.347e10. I should have been using .008kg for the energy, not .004.

Yep! Mass/Energy doesn't disappear. Whether it's matter or antimatter. Where should the "missing" 4g (or 4g*c^2 ) go? But well. U got it yourself
