energy is accelerated mass, so i guess the simple answer to your last question is yes while your first question doesnt make much sense. not a physicist though.

- sgsag33 4y agoThat`s just wrong. If e = mc^2 THAN m is NOT accelerated e...
- boomboomsubban 4y agoThey said e is accelerated m, which is broadly what the equation shows.
- maze-le 4y agoNot really, c^2 has the unit of velocity squared, not acceleration: [c^2] = [(v^2/t^2)] != [(v/t^2)] = [a] We can also choose natural units where c==1, which leads directly to e==m
- boomboomsubban 4y agoI took "accelerated" to mean at a certain speed, like in the sentence "we accelerated to 1 meter per second," not acceleration itself.
- javaunsafe2019 4y agoStill wrong. It’s a constant here that plays a role in the relation between mass and energy. That’s all. the speed of light is always the same. The mass was not accelerated to it.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoNo, e=mc^2 is the equation for something at rest. The full equation involves the momentum as well, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy%E2%80%93momentum_relation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy%E2%80%93momentum_relati... It's why I said "broadly what the equation shows." It's hard to tell at rest, but it is still technically including the momentum.
- javaunsafe2019 4y agoOk I understand now what you mean and agree with your point. I guess I over simplified my take.
- margorczynski 4y agoThe thing is E=mc^2 is the energy at rest, there is a more general equation for objects in motion
- mlatu 4y agoand you're the one asking whether energy has mass when both are the same stuff just in different states. "does water have ice?" same energy
