E = energy

energy = mass X velocity of light squared

The common form of the equation in conventional units is E = mc^2, but in relativistic units (where the speed of light c is 1) the equation reduces to just E = m which is much easier to calculate. The factor c^2 is just a units conversion constant.

When did Albert Einstein announce that E equals MC squared?

Albert Einstein announced the equation E=mc^2 in 1905 as part of his special theory of relativity.


What is FG equals mc2d?

The equation "FG = mc^2" is not a standard physics equation. "E=mc^2" (energy equals mass times the speed of light squared) is a famous equation from Einstein's theory of relativity that relates energy, mass, and the speed of light. If "FG" refers to a force, then the equation "FG = mc^2" doesn't have a standard interpretation in physics.


E equals mc squared what does mc stand for?

The m is for mass and c is for the speed of light. The attached link is Albert Einstein explaining the theory of relativity. It has subtitles as his accent is very thick.


What is an explanation of E equals mc squared?

Einstein's famous equation, E=mc², is a fundamental concept in physics. It states that energy (E) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by the speed of light squared (c²). This equation shows the equivalence of mass and energy, indicating that mass can be converted into energy and vice versa. It is the foundation of the theory of relativity and has led to advancements in nuclear energy and understanding the structure of the universe.


How do matter and energy interact?

Matter and energy can convert into each other according to Einstein's famous equation, E = mc^2. This means that matter can be converted into energy and vice versa. For example, in nuclear reactions, some of the mass of the nucleons is converted into energy.
