Question

Using Einstein's famous mass-energy equivalency formula what information pairs can you create?(3 points)

Answer 1

1. Given the mass of an object, you can calculate the energy equivalent using the formula E=mc^2.
2. Given the energy of a system, you can calculate the mass equivalent using the formula m=E/c^2.
3. By comparing the mass and energy equivalents of two different objects, you can determine how much energy would be released if the mass was converted into energy, or how much mass would be needed to create a certain amount of energy.
