E = MC2

Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.

E= energy M=mass C= the speed of light 2= squared (a number times itself)

A famous equation created by Albert Einstein in relation to his Special Theory of Relativity.

Because the speed of light is a very large number and is multiplied by itself, this equation points out how a small amount of matter can release a huge amount of energy, as in a nuclear reaction.

In average human terms, e=mc^2 basically represents the amount of energy you'd get if you totally converted an object's mass into pure energy.

What does E in e equals m c 2 mean?

it means speed. Mass x the speed of light


What does the letters mean for e equals Mc2?

it means e = MC2 which is M x c x 2


Is -2 is the opposite of 2?

m = E/c^2


How would you re-write e equals mc2 to isolate m?

e=mc^2? e/c^2 = m


What does e equals mc squared actually mean?

Formally it is written as E = mc^(2) E = Energy ( joules) m = mass ( kg) c = speed of light in a vacuum (m/s; metres per second) c^(2) = speed of light squared ( m^2/s^2) or (m/s)^2 Note how similar it is to kinetic energy K.E. = (0.5) m v^(2) KE is Kinetic Energy m = mass v = velocity(speed) .


Does e equals mc2 relate to math?

Yes!!! It is an algebraic equation. E = mc^2 In words Energy is equal to mass multiplied to the speed of light squared. It can be algebraically manipulated m E/c^2 or c^2 = E/m or c = sqrt(E/m)


What does e plus mc squared mean?

E=MC2 means that energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared E=Energy M=Mass C=Speed of Light E+MC2 mean Energy+(Mass*Speed of Light)2 (squared) (This is using Albert Einstein's theory of what M,C and E means.


What does mass equal if e equals mc2?

What does e equals mcsquared mean?

What does e equals m c square mean?

e = energy m = mass c = the speed of light The equation is e=mc2 (where 2 means the value of c is squared) This means that if a value, or amount of mass, is multiplied by the square of the speed of light, the resultant value equals an equivalent amount of energy.


Emc what does the c represent?

Assuming you mean: E = m c squaredE is energy, m is mass, c is the speed of light.


What does m mean in E equals mc2 mean?

The "m" in E=mc^2 stands for mass. The equation expresses the relationship between energy (E), mass (m), and the speed of light (c) squared. It indicates that mass and energy are interchangeable and can be converted into each other.
