EQUATION ANALYSIS

E = mc^2
Albert Einstein discovered this theory
of the special relativity of mass and
energy and how they are simply tied
together or as our book states two
sides of the same coin.

E = mc^2

represents total energy of a system

Measured in joules, J
Energy is a VARIABLE

=
m represents

mass, total amount of

matter in an object
Measured in kilograms, kg
Mass is a VARIABLE

c represents the speed of light

Measured in metres per second, ms-1
Speed of light is CONSTANT

c^2

is the size of travel at close to

186,300 miles per second squared
or about seven times around the
earth per second squared.

(magnitude and a direction). A negative velocity
simply means moving from the opposite direction of
the reference point. This might mean that c can be
seen as negative.

NEGATIVE ENERGY EVER?

Negative energy is a concept that is considered exotic
energy and is not definable. It was derived from
Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle. Some scientists,
believe that negative energy is a concept that can
destroy black holes or build wormholes.

ENERGY HAVE A
Energy is a scalar quantity. Scalar quantity has only
DIRECTION?
magnitude (how much of the quantity is there) and
vector quantity has both magnitude and direction
(quantity having a direction defines it). Therefore,
energy has no direction.

CAN THE NEGATIVE ON THE LEFT

HAND OF THE EQUATION EVERY
MEAN A DIRECTION FOR ENERGY?
Energy is a scalar quantity with on magnitude and
direction does NOT define energy. Therefore, the
negative on the left hand side of the equation isnt a
direction for energy.

Some scientist thought that this negative

sign was just a mathematical oddity or crap
that
no physical
meaning?
In had
the equation
E=mc^2,
the negative sign does not
impact the equation. The outcome always comes out to
be a positive number.

Is the negative sign meaningless or does this

mathematical peculiarity mean something?
In the equation E=mc^2, the negative sign does not
impact the equation. The outcome always comes out to
be a positive number. Scientists
