What does the c stand for in the equation E=mc^2
A
Energy
B
Mass
C
Constant
D
Speed of light
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Einstein’s equation shows that mass and energy are equivalent-so long as you multiply by the “conversion factor” of c2 (the speed of light multiplied by itself).

Detailed explanation-2: -What is c in E=mc²? c denotes the speed of light in vacuum ( 299, 792, 458 m/s ). That means that even a tiny mass is equivalent to a significant amount of rest energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Now we’re getting to the c² part of the equation, which serves the same purpose as the star-on and star-off machines in “The Sneetches.” The c stands for the speed of light, a universal constant, so the whole equation breaks down to this: Energy is equal to matter multiplied by the speed of light squared.

Detailed explanation-4: -"c” in the equation y = mx + c, stands for, Y intercept. (0, c) is the point at which the line y = mx + c intersects the y-axis.

Detailed explanation-5: -This equation states, a mass (m) can be converted into an amount of energy (E), where c is the speed of light.

Detailed explanation-6: -The amount of heat gained or lost by a sample (q) can be calculated using the equation q = mcT, where m is the mass of the sample, c is the specific heat, and T is the temperature change.
