so?, energy equals the mass times the speed of light squared
2006-08-14 05:34:10 · answer #1 · answered by dtstuff9 6 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Energy= Mass x (the speed of light in a vacuum) 2 (squared)
this is one of the most famous equations in physics stated by albert einstein in 1905

E=mc²
Hold down the ALT key, then press 253 and let go of the ALT key. The squared sign will appear.
If you look up ASCII characters, you'll find more stuff like that.
Here's an article for the curious:

Yes, he did, if that is your question. Actually, his equations said it for him. It means that if you take something's mass (in grams, I think), and multiply it by the speed of light squared (in meters per second, I think), you get the amount of energy contained in that mass (in Joules, I think). Now the speed of light squared is a HUGE number, so that equation tells us that in a little bitty amount of mass (like in a few grams of Uranium) you get a huge amount of energy if you can figure out a way to release it. Apparently, they did. Right over Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Atomic Bomb). And at Bikini Atoll (Hydrogen Bomb). After that detonation, I like to say there was No Bikini Atoll. Woo hoo!l

one of the letters was different, but I can't remember which. the meaning was the same, however. EDIT: OK, here goes. AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR ALBERT EINSTEIN!!! It is a little known piece of trivia that Einstein originally wrote the equation in the form dm = L/c² (with an "L", instead of an "E", representing energy, the E being utilised elsewhere in the demonstration to represent energy too).

Yes, Albert Einstein came up with that equation when he developed his theory of relativity. E = energy, m = mass, and c = the speed of light.

It is a relation between mass and energy:
E: energy
m: mass
c: speed of light (3.0x10^8 km/s)
In a nuclear reaction, some mass is converted to energy, and this equation basically says that a miniscule amount of mass can become a huge amount of energy.

Einstein did say E=mc "squared" which is a little 2 almost above the c
why? i don't get your "question" This is about the theory of relativity. Did we just do your homework for you?

yes he said it with out the question mark. and the c2 means c square. do u want what those sign stand for ?
E is energy, m is mass and c is speed of light.

First, this isn't a question. Second, you misspelled Einstein. Way to go Einstein.
