Mass and energy are related to each other by:
- A
Newton's law
- B
Einstein's law
- C
Coulomb's law
- D
All of these options are correct
Option A) Newton's law is incorrect because Newton's laws of motion deal with the behaviour of objects under the influence of external forces and do not relate to the mass-energy equivalence.
Option B) Energy (E) equals mass (m) times the speed of light (c) squared, or E = mc². The equation revealed that mass and energy are different forms of the same thing. This is Einstein's law.
Option C) Coulomb's law is incorrect because Coulomb's law deals with the electrostatic force between charged particles and does not relate to the mass-energy equivalence.
Option D) All of these options are correct is incorrect because only option B) Einstein's law is correct.

E = mc². The equation revealed
that mass and energy are different forms of
the same thing.
This is Einstein's law.
Coulomb's law is incorrect because Coulomb's law deals with the electrostatic force between charged particles and does not relate to the mass-energy equivalence.
All of these options are correct is incorrect because only option B) Einstein's law is correct.
