*E = mc^2

'E' is the Energy

'm' is the mass ( kg)

'c' is the speed of light in a vacuum ( 3.8 x 10^8 m/s)

'c^2' is the speed of light squared.

Hence E = kgm^2/s^2 , which are named 'Joules'.

It is the Einsteinian equation , that if a mass looses mass, then the difference in mass is the energy released.

NB It is very similar to the Kinetic Energy (K.E.) equation, which is

K.E. = 0.5massvelocity^2.

Can we change the energy into matter?

Yes. You just need an awful lot of energy. Look at Einstein's equation, e = mc2. Well, c2 is very large, about 9 x 1016 joules per kilogram (or m2/s2), so you effectively need the fusion power of the Sun to initiate a conversion from energy into matter.


When you write a word equation what are the reactants and products?

E (energy) = mc2 is one equation where according to Einstein, energy can be either the reactant or product. Another good example is photosynthesis. 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (UV from sunlight) -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 In this equation energy is a reactant. The reverse reaction is respiration which is given by: C6H12O6 + 6O2-----> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy - here energy is a product.


Where does the energy from the fusion reaction come from?

It arises from the internal energy of the nucleus, called the binding energy. In the case of light elements, joining two light nuclei to make a heavier one releases energy, because the binding energy changes. In the case of the heavy elements like uranium, splitting the nucleus into two smaller parts also releases energy, for the same reason. In both cases the end result loses a proportion of the initial mass of the nuclei concerned, and this loss of mass equates to the energy released via Einstein's equation E = mc2.


What is the relationship between matter and energy?

Energy and matter are 100% the same thing, but in different forms. In GAMMA RAY BURSTS ( The deaths of supermassive stars (RARE) also called a hypernova), energy is converted into matter and antimatter (Atoms with opposite charges of NORMAL matter). When matter and antimatter are fused, both (Antimatter is also a form of matter) are turned into energy. E=mc2 shows us how to find out how much energy something that is matter will turn into if it is transformed into energy. Mass of the matter x the speed of light x the speed of lightThe E stands for the energy and mc2 stands for mass of the matter x the speed of light x the speed of light.Wierd but true!


How do you create matter?

Matter can neither be created or destroyed, only changed into other forms of matter or energy as shown by Einstein's equation: E=MC2 Or, by rearranging the equation: M=E/C2 To create matter you would need to build a device that takes energy and turns it into matter.

Is E equals MC2 the equation for a wormhole?

No, E=mc^2 is not an equation specifically for a wormhole. It is Einstein's famous equation that relates energy (E) to mass (m) and the speed of light (c). Wormholes are theoretical passages through spacetime that might be possible according to the equations of general relativity.

Relativity theory equals e equals mc2?

Yes. It is Einstein's celebrated equation, E=mc2. It means "energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." It tells how to convert mass into energy. Einstein showed through this that mass and energy can be changed into each other.


How big is e equals mc2?

e = mc2 is an equation, it has no size of its own. The value of e (energy) depends on the amount of mass (m) and conversely. The smaller the mass is the smaller the amount of energy.
