Do you know what each letter stands for and what scientist came up with that part of the equation before Einstein put it all together?

E is energy, M is mass and C is the speed of light. so if 1 kilogram of matter was turned into pure energy the amount of energy would be 25,000,000,000 KWh.

Cool you know what they stand for. The most famous equation and not many peolple know what it means.

i know e = energy end Isaac Newton thought of the ideas of that and gravity. i think that m is motion and pretty sure c is conversion but no idea who came up with them. this equation is used for many things like measuring the force of gravity or pull of an object but today it has become so unheard of.

Yes E is for energy...it was someone more modern (1800s) that came up with a significant contribution for energy. Hint: he made the first electric motor. Guess again for m and c.

this is the most famous aquation in the history of science.yes ,quite simply,it means that energy equals mass mutiplied by the speed of light squared.this is a thory that our teacher ever taught me,but what does this mean?well,if we could break apart the atom,we could release inconceivable energy. einsten showed that mass is energy,and energy is mass.

i ever heard that if this equationw as right,, people can make machine time.. like the movie back to the future... hmmm,, but it's irrationably,, but imposible is nothing guys,, haha

I is universally accepted equation and from it only we can say "energy neither can created nor destroyed,but can transfer from one to another

e=energy, m=mass, c=velocity i believe!
