Re: Metrication

I think you mean E=1/2mv^2 ie the energy of a bullet (or other moving object) increases linearly as you increase the mass, but it increases according to the square of the velocity.

E=mc^2 is for things like hydrogen bombs, and contrary to what you may have heard, those things are not ideal for home defence.
