I know it doesn't have much to be solved. I just wanted to make sure I was doing it right. I'm thirteen, so I just wanted to make sure I understood the logic behind the equation.

Right, and given that you know only to square the speed of light, not the entire equation.

Just the speed of light.

Right, sorry about that. I meant meters.

Solve for E in that equation, but yes, that answers my question. I just wanted to make sure i was running the computations correctly. Thanks!

I was wondering how to simply solve for E=MC^2. I have basic idea but I just want to check it. You take the mass times the speed of light (in miles per second?) and square that. Over one second that is equal to the number of watts the object could produce. Is that right. If there are any...

Right, thanks!

Look, I understand most of what you just said but some of it went right past me. I'm 13. To answer your last question, yes, it does change greatly. If the ballance of this model rocket is off by just a few tenths of a ounce, the rocket will tip over. It will also do so if the center of gravity...

Ok. One mor question. If that same rocket is too tippy in the air, does that mean it has a high or low center of gravity. I think it's high, but just wanted to check.

OK. Why didn't I think of that. I guess I'm thinking too hard :)

Is there a relatively simple way to find the center of gravity of an object? I need to know to see if my model rocket has a high center of gravity. The bulk of he weight is in the bottom.

Either way, that's a lot of Gs.

Thanks to all and good to meet you too.

Ok. Thanks!

Thanks! One more question. If the that same rocket were made of cardboard and balsa wood fins, would it be worth getting back or would it be totally destroyed.
