What is e=m×c×c

Pritha Vashisht 8 years, 1 month ago

In physics, mass–energy equivalence states that anything having mass has an equivalent amount of energy and vice versa, with these fundamental quantities directly relating to one another by Albert Einstein's famous formula:

 E = mc 2

In the equation, the increased relativistic mass (m) of a body times the speed of light squared (c 2) is equal to the kinetic energy (E) of that body. Proof of Albert Einstein's special-relativity equation E = mc 2.

c stands for the speed of light in vacuum, ( which is: c = 2.99792458 108 m/s )

Anything having energy exhibits a corresponding mass <i>m</i> given by its energy <i>E</i> <i>divided</i> by the speed of light squared <i>c</i>². Because the speed of light is a very large number in everyday units, the formula implies that even an everyday object at rest with a modest amount of mass has a very large amount of energy intrinsically. Chemical, nuclear, and other energy transformations may cause a system to lose some of its energy content (and thus some corresponding mass), releasing it as light or heat, for example.
