Total Energy<br />
According to Einstein's theory, the total energy<br />
E of a particle of is given by:<br />
Total Energy: E = mc 2<br />
(m o c 2 + K)<br />
Total energy includes rest energy and energy<br />
of motion. If we are interested in just the<br />
energy of motion, we must subtract m o c 2 .<br />
Kinetic Energy: K = mc 2 – m o c 2<br />
Kinetic Energy: K = (m – m o )c 2
