When a single heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei (fission), the sum of their masses is less than the mass of the original nucleus. Some mass is missing, and some energy is released. When two light nuclei fuse into a single heavier nucleus (fusion), the mass of the heavier one is less than the sum of the masses of the two light ones. Some mass is missing, and some energy is released. In both events, the missing mass has been converted to energy. If the amount of missing mass is 'm', and you multiply 'm' by the square of the speed of light 'c2' , the answer you get is the amount of energy that was released 'e'. e = mc2

Is E equals MC2 a force?
No. E=mc2 is a formula. Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.
M in E equals mc2?
mass
Who discovered E equals mc2?
The concept of E=MC2 was discovered by Henri Poincare.
What is the sum to e equals mc2?
There is no sum of e=mc2, it is an equation concerning matter and energy. e=mc2 stands for: Energy equals mass times the velocity of light squared. E = M C 2
Who said that E equals mc2?
It was Albert Einstein.
How does the mass-energy equation E mc2 relate to fission?
a large amount
How does E equals mc2 relate to radiation?
it relates to radiation because they contain electrons which is radiated
In fission and fussion mass is created from what?
Energy according to the ever famous equation: E=MC2 When fusing molecules the product of the fusion is less massive than the components going into it, released as energi, until Iron is reached. This requires more energy than it releases.
How does e equals mc2 relate energyAND MASS?
The equation states that energy is directly proportional to mass and that the constant of proportionality is equal to the square of the velocity of light (in vacuum).
What is mc2 in E equals mc2?
E (Energy) equals M (Mass) times C2 (speed of light square)
Is E equals MC2 a force?
No. E=mc2 is a formula. Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.
Where did albert Einstein create the formula 3 equals mc2?
The formula is E=mc2.
Was there any problems with e equals mc2?
no.
Is E equals mc2 real?
yes it is.
M in E equals mc2?
mass
Who discovered E equals mc2?
The concept of E=MC2 was discovered by Henri Poincare.
What is the sum to e equals mc2?
There is no sum of e=mc2, it is an equation concerning matter and energy. e=mc2 stands for: Energy equals mass times the velocity of light squared. E = M C 2
