The 'c' in that equation stands for the speed of light in a vacuum.
If the equation is being evaluated in metric units, then it's 299,792,458 meters per second.
If in English units, then it's 186,282 miles per second.
C is the speed of light.
c = the speed of light.
C = speed of light
speed of light
Energy = mass x speed of light(squared)
C is the speed of light.
C = speed of light
c = the speed of light.
speed of light
Energy = mass x speed of light(squared)
Energy=Mass xC2 What does the C stand for?
Lower case c is speed of light, capital C is for specific heat in thermodynamics.
c in E=mc squared meaqns the speed of light
Mass.
E=MC^2 the two means that the C at the end of the formula is squared, the 2 is an exponent (meaning that you times C by itself)
m = E/c^2
The m is for mass and c is for the speed of light. The attached link is Albert Einstein explaining the theory of relativity. It has subtitles as his accent is very thick.
