e=mc2............?

Question

is that awesome???

But what does it mean?????????

Answer 1

It means you can take a small amount of matter (m) and create a tremendous amount of energy (e). c^2 is the speed of light squared

Like when a nuclear bomb detonates.

Answer 2

take your weight in kilograms (divide pounds by 2.2) and multiply it by 299 792 458 squared, or 8.98755179 × 10^16. This gives the energy of your body in joules. Then divide it by 4.2 x 10^15. This the energy of the mass of your body in megatons of TNT. Simply put, if you were converted to energy, that number you came up with would be the amount of energy. For example, a 110 lb person would weigh 50 kg. 50*8.98755179 × 10^16 is 4.4937759 × 10^18. Dividing by 4.2 x 10^15 gets about 1070 megatons of TNT. The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima produced about 0.015 megatons of TNT. So a 110 lb person is worth about 71,330 Hiroshima-sized A-bombs.

Answer 3

E = mc2

An equation derived by the twentieth-century physicist Albert Einstein, in which E represents units of energy, m represents units of mass, and c2 is the speed of light squared, or multiplied by itself. (See relativity.)

Answer 4

It means you can take a small amount of matter (m) and create a tremendous amount of energy (e). c^2 is the speed of light squared

Like when a nuclear bomb detonates.

Answer 5

energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. the speed of light is represented as a c because it's constant.

Answer 6

I think it should be (1/2)mc^2

mass energy equivalence equation described as very approximate by its conjurer, Albert Einstein

Answer 7

It means a little mass can be converted to a lot of energy.
SEE: Nuclear explosion

Answer 8

energy=mass*speed of light squared!

Answer 9

This is from Einstein's Relativity theory ... try looking it up

Answer 10

ok.

Energy = Mass (speed of light) squared
