Einstein’s mass-energy and kinetic energy
Andrew James Steinmetz
It’s easy to notice that the famous equation \(E = mc^2\) is similar to the classical expression for kinetic energy \(T = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\). Both are proportional to mass, and both have a “speed” (\(c\) or \(v\)) which is squared. That they are alike might prompt the question: why doesn’t...
