It relates the energy of a particle to it's mass. So, if you were to convert 1kg of material into pure energy, the energy you would get out would be calculated using E = mc2.
However, this is just the simplified version for a particle that isn't moving. If the particle is moving with a momentum p, then the full formula is used: E2 = p2c2 + m2c4.

What does Einsteins famous equation e equals mc2 mean?
That equation is the equation that Albert Einstein came up with to describe how to calculate the speed of light. E = energy m = mass c = speed of light
Who made e equals mc2?
it is Albert Einsteins most famous formula
What best describes the significance of Albert Einsteins famous equation?
Scientists used it to develop Nuclear Power
E does not equals mc2 some help?
A re-writing of Einsteins famous equation is E = mc2 Wherre E is energy, m is mass, c is the speed of light (so c2 is the square of the speed of light)
What scientist is famous for the equation E equals MC?
Albert Einstein.Except that the equation was e = mc2
