If you could convert the mass of a paper clip entirely to energy, how big a punch would it pack? Einstein's most famous equation, E = mc 2, indicates the calculation is straightforward ...

The difference or "missing mass" is converted into energy in accordance with Einstein’s equation E=mc². Because c is very large, a small amount of missing mass turns into a large amount of energy. The ...

The more mass an object has, the more energy in the kinetic energy store. A runner with a mass of 60kg is running at a speed of 1 m/s. Calculate the amount of energy in their kinetic energy store.

Some questions in the exam will require you to recall and apply equations you have learned in class. Other questions will ask you to use the ‘Physics Equation Sheet’. This is a set list of ...
