Summary

The invariant mass of an isolated system equals its total rest-frame energy divided by c2c^2; binding, kinetic, field, and internal energies therefore contribute to composite mass.

Special relativityMass–energy equivalence

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Special relativity identifies invariant mass with total rest-frame energy divided by c2c^2.

How to interpret this relation type

A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Negative binding energy relative to separated constituents reduces the invariant mass of the bound system by the corresponding energy divided by c2c^2.
