I'm not very good at physics and I was wondering if someone could help me..

My question is:- Is E=MC2 just F=MA?

E and F are the same since one can be converted to the other.. M is the same.. Is the C^2 just the theoretical acceleration of the speed of light, just like the A is an acceleration in F=MA?

No.

1) Energy and force cannot be converted directly from one to the other.

2) c2 does not have units of acceleration (m/s2) -- it has units of velocity squared (m2/s2).
