    Undergrad Why are E=MC^2 and E=1/2MV^2 equivalent equations?

    Thanks for the quick replies. I'm just starting out in physics, still learning. :D

    Undergrad Why are E=MC^2 and E=1/2MV^2 equivalent equations?

    Today in my physics class we learned the equation for kinetic energy; E = 1/2MV^2 I found the equation strikingly similar to Einsteins famous equation E=MC^2 The only real difference is the 1/2 coefficient (Since C is just a constant for V) So i figured there should be a constant for V...
