Rest Mass Energy
Work In Progress - Shiv Tailor HAI SHIV <3 -Alice Rest mass energy is the energy an object has when is not moving nor is it in a potential field. The famous equation
[math]\displaystyle{ E=mc^2 }[/math]
demonstrates the mass energy equivalence. What this equation means is that the Internal Energy (E) in Joules is equal to the mass in kilograms times the speed of light (m/s) sqaured.
A Mathematical Model
There are [math]\displaystyle{ E=\lambda mc^2 }[/math] and
[math]\displaystyle{ E=mc^2 }[/math] which reprsents the rest energy. taken together the kinetic energy becomes the overall energy- rest energy. Due to the complexity of this equation, it maybe easier to use the equation [math]\displaystyle{ 1/2mv^2 }[/math] if the object is not traveling near the speed of light. This equation is applicable to everyday object that we see and more applicable for the "average" situation.

What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
