What is E=MC2 please I need to know

Physics

Ierofanga [76]3 years ago

E = mc^2 is an equation derived by physicist Albert Einstein. It means "energy equals mass multiplied by speed of light squared (or multiplied by itself)." It expresses the fact that both mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other. In fact, energy and mass are different forms of the same thing. In the said equation, the mass (represented by m) multiplied to the velocity of light squared (c^2) is equivalent to kinetic energy (e).

The E = mc^2 equation explains how every star (including our Sun) works by nuclear fusion (atoms fusing together while some of their mass is converted into energy), the atomic energy produced by nuclear power plants and atomic energy released by atomic bombs, and how matter can be destroyed and converted to energy and energy can be converted back to mass.

There are two ways to solve this. The longer way is to use those equations to calculate numbers for total distance.

The easier way is to find the area under the graph. That's right, AREA UNDER VELOCITY-TIME graph is the TOTAL DISTANCE travelled!

it's a shortcut.

Let's split up the area into a triangle and rectangle:

Triangle = 0.5(4-0)(10-0) = 20 m
Rectangle = (6-4)(10-0) = 20 m

Total distance = 40 m!

What is a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:Increase in the entropy of the universe are the result of chemical reactions

Explanation:

The second law tells about the quality of energy such that any isolated system tends to become more disordered. Any natural Process occurring on its own is irreversible and entropy is increasing for that process.  

The entropy of the Universe is increasing which is the result of chemical reactions. Any chemical reaction which increases the number of gas molecules will generate more entropy. Entropy in simple meaning is the order of randomness.
