    Derive E=mc2
AI Thread Summary
The equation e=mc² can be derived using principles from physics, and the derivation is commonly found in textbooks. Several users emphasize that understanding the equation requires personal effort and study rather than relying on others to provide the derivation. Links to various discussions and resources are shared for further exploration of the topic. The importance of self-learning in grasping complex concepts like this is highlighted. Engaging with the material directly is encouraged for a deeper understanding.

Why

I cannot understand your question -- the derivation is available in most physics textbooks all you have to do is read -- if you wish to understand it then tryt it yourself -- But why oh why should anybody else do it for you ?
 

Thread 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Simple thought experiment with Stefan-Boltzmann law: energy'

Dear all, in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows. I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (First part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8 and stuck at some statements. It's little bit confused. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. Solution : The surface bound charge on the ##xy## plane is of opposite sign to ##q##, so the force will be...
