Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
According to Einstein, mass and energy are equivalent
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -E = mc2, equation in German-born physicist Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity that expresses the fact that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Einstein mass-energy equivalence equation is the basic formula that gives the basic relation between mass and energy. It states that under appropriate situations mass and energy are interchangeable and they are also the same. The mathematical formula of the Einstein equation is E=mC^2.

Detailed explanation-3: -Einstein went on to present his findings mathematically: energy (E) equals mass (m) times the speed of light (c) squared (2), or E=mc2. The secret the equation revealed-that mass and energy are different forms of the same thing-had eluded scientists for centuries.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mass-energy equivalence states that mass is concentrated energy. In his theory of special relativity Einstein formulated the equation E=mc^2. There is a tremendous amount of energy in mass. A 20g marble contains as much energy as a 500 kiloton hydrogen bomb, but this energy is very difficult to release.
