Question
Another relationship in physics is that describing the energy obtainable if we convert mass to energy, Einstein's famous E=mc2 where the constant c is the speed of light in vacuum. Which of the following correctly expresses this as a proportionality and identifies the constant of proportionality?
Question 2Select one:
a. E ∝ m , with constant of proportionality c .
b. m ∝ c , with constant of proportionality E .
c. E ∝ m , with constant of proportionality c2 .
d. E ∝ c , with constant of proportionality m .
e. m ∝ c2 , with constant of proportionality E .
Solution
The correct answer is:
c. E ∝ m, with constant of proportionality c².
This is because in the equation E=mc², E (energy) is directly proportional to m (mass), and the constant of proportionality is c² (the speed of light squared).
