Question

This version of Einstein's equation can be used directly to find what value? `Δm = E/c^2

Answer 1

Explanation:

In the given version of an Einstein's equation:

$\Delta m = \frac{E}{c^2}$

$\Delta m$ = Mass defect

E = Nuclear binding energy of an atom which holds the nucleus of an atom together.

c = speed of the light =$3\times 10^8 m/s$

From the given version one can determine the mass defect which is a binding force of a nucleus in an atom if nuclear binding energy is known.

Answer 2

Answer

mass

Explanation

E=mc² explains nuclear fusion, how matter can be destroyed and converted to energy and energy can be converted back to mass.

It explains the atomic energy produced by nuclear power plants and the atomic energy released by atomic bombs.

E=mc²

m = E/c²

From the version in the question the value to be found directly is mass.
