Perhaps the most famous
equation known to man is E=mc2, but what does it actually mean?
The "E" in the
equation is energy. The "m" is the change in mass and the "c" is the
speed of light. Therefore the equation is, "Energy is equal to the mass of
the object multiplied by the speed of light squared." An example is an
object that weighs 12 grams. The equation would be 12 x
8.98755179 x 1016. This is equal to 1,078,506,219,000,000,000
joules. That is equal to 107,850,621,900,000 kilojoules or 299,585,061 Watts.
